Read some textbooks before you say what and how they cover something.
In the Abbreviated Pundits section this morning I read this intro: "Bill Bigelow at Portside writes—Camouflaging the Vietnam War: How Textbooks Continue to Keep the Pentagon Papers a Secret:" While this may be true for some texts many survey texts do a pretty good job in the small space things get in a survey. For example in The American Promise (a text used in many high school AP classes and college freshman survey courses) on page 1093-1094:
"Administration policy suffered another blow in June 1971 with the publication of the Pentagon Papers, a secret governmental study of U.S. policy in Vietnam. Daniel Ellsberg once a civilian advisor in Vietnam and an aide to Henry Kissinger, had worked on the study. Frustrated in his attempts to persuade officials of the war's futility, Ellsberg copied the papers and gave them to the New York Times. Administration attempts to prevent their publication were defeated by the Supreme Court as a violation of freedom of the press. The Pentagon Papers heightened disillusionment with the war by casting doubts on the government's credibility. More than 60 percent of respondents to a public opinion poll in 1971 considered it a mistake to have sent American troops to Vietnam; 58 per cent believed the war to be immoral."
I really don't think this is "camouflaging the Vietnam War". Those of us on the left need to be fact based and not spout off untruths about things just to make our case 'sound better"
