The documentary film The Most Dangerous Man in America was nominated for an Academy Award at this year's Oscars. It is about the Defence Department and White House consultant Daniel Ellsberg, who released the Pentagon Papers to the media back in 1971.
In exposing top secret documents, President Richard Nixon said Ellsberg was placing himself above everybody -- including the president and Congress, and although he faced numerous charges under the US Espionage Act, he avoided jail. It was never Daniel Ellsberg's intention to do more than try to bring about an end to the war in Vietnam, but these papers set events in motion that led to the eventual fall of Richard Nixon.
