  • Despite his resolute public attitude toward the war, documents detailed in the new book "The Last of the President's Men" reveal that President Richard Nixon had his doubts about America's efforts in the Vietnam war. David Martin has more.

    I find it disgusting that these journalists, and those who supply them, simply ignore security markings on documents. Their only objective seems to be the kudos of breaking a story

      I mean, I'm glad that these documents are out there because the public must always be able to know, within reason, the workings of their government. But did this man not commit an immense felony level crime doing this?
      He didn't give them to a vetted organization or respectable publishing source. He hoarded them until his twilight years. What was his goal then? Hoping for a payday and then realizing when that was out of reach, an anecdote in our country's history? Good job keeping them, I guess, but you deserve neither praise nor admiration.

    I find it exhilarating that these journalists, and those who supply them, simply ignore security markings on documents. And I also love that that their only objective is to make sure that evil people do not escape history…

      These tapes were released into the public domain by the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and the National Archives… there was no security markings on these documents because they were cleared for release. I’m not quite sure how you turned this into a thing about evil whistleblowers and journalists?

    Common. Look at what Kissinger said about that. This is being distorted and dishonors our services.
