Colson says Pentagon Papers release curtailed peace bid
Former White House counsel Charles W. Colson testifies before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that Daniel Ellsberg’s June 1971 release of the Pentagon Papers undermined a major U S peace offer to North Vietnam, possibly delaying the war’s end by about 18 months. He cites a Kissinger led Paris offer in May 1971 as the target, and notes the Times exposure and subsequent shifts in U S and international support.
