Pentagon papers expose US lies

Former US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara commissioned the Pentagon Papers, officially titled "Report of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Vietnam Task Force," in 1967. Small portions of the report were leaked to the press and widely distributed in June 1971. The papers exposed the US lies about the Vietnam War and for much of the American public; this grand deception seeded a distrust of government that is still prevalent today after 50 years.
