"Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg passes away at 92"

Daniel Ellsberg, the U.S. military analyst who leaked the classified "Pentagon Papers" in 1971, revealing U.S. government deception about the Vietnam War and setting off a major freedom-of-the-press battle, died on Friday at the age of 92. Ellsberg, who had been diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer in February, became an advocate for whistleblowers and leakers in his later years and his "Pentagon Papers" leak was portrayed in the 2017 movie "The Post."
