This is history, so I tend not to get too worked up about it. What I will say is we only know, what we are told and the truth is getting pretty slippery. That quote above was by Daniel Ellsberg who was the ^Snowden^/^Assange^ of his time. An insider who saw the nonsense behind the LBJ/McNamara explanations of Vietnam and released the Pentagon Papers.
