As his co-defendant, Anthony Russo (right) listens, Daniel Ellsberg tells newsmen outside the Federal Building in Los Angeles, Ca. on Jan. 17 1973 that the Pentagon Papers trial prosecuters were acting out "their contempt for the American people" by placing a movie screen between the trial principals and the press and public, seated at the back of the courtroom. The Judge ordered the screen removed and replaced by a smaller one along the wall. (AP Photo). The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers.
Najopasniji čovjek u Americi: Daniel Ellsberg i slučaj Pentagon priča je o zaposleniku Pentagona koji je 1971. uzrokovao skandal koji je potresao SAD kada je New York Timesu poslao povjerljivu studiju o ratu u Vijetnamu. Henry Kissinger tada ga je proglasio „najopasnijim čovjekom u Americi koji mora biti zaustavljen po svaku cijenu“. Ali Ellsberg se nije dao zaustaviti nego je krenuo u borbu protiv optužnice za izdaju i moguće kazne od 115 godina u zatvoru.
