Ellsberg Indicted Over Vietnam Documents Theft Case

Ellsberg formerly worked at Rand Corp in Santa Monica and said he acted as an American citizen to reveal the information. Patricia Ellsberg joined him outside the court as crowds cheered and he commented that 10 years might be a cheap price to pay to end the Vietnam War.
