Ex-Negotiator Calls Pentagon Papers Fun for Historians
Former State Department negotiator Adrian Fisher testified for Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo that a Pentagon Papers volume on early Paris talks would have amused historians but offered little real value in 1969. He contrasted this with a government witness's claim that release could have jeopardized peace talks, noting secrecy in negotiations is often a short lived asset. The case involves espionage, conspiracy and theft charges against the defendants.
