They revealed things about the Vietnam War that the American people did not know.
The Pentagon Papers revealed that the U.S. government had been misleading the people about its involvement in Vietnam, both about the intentions and the outcomes of the conflict. The government in return brought a case against the publishers of the papers, declaring that the publication be halted because the papers were top-secret and relevant to national security. However, the court overturned the government's decision and approved the publication of the information. The Pentagon Papers contributed to the beginning of American mistrust in the government concerning the conduct of the war in Vietnam, a sentiment that has persisted into today.
