Top secret information is 'like toilet paper' at the Pentagon, says the Vietnam War whistleblower

• There's no reason to think the Discord leak has damaged US national security, Daniel Ellsberg said.
• "Top secret is like toilet paper" at the Pentagon, said Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers.
• Ellsberg told The Washington Post that the US government tends to keep a "mystique of secrecy."

Daniel Ellsberg, the man who in 1971 exposed Vietnam War intelligence that stunned the country, doubts the leak of Pentagon documents last year on Discord poses any severe threats to US national security.
