6. Weren't the pentagon papers largely about the Johnson admin?

7. Much more than that.

The Pentagon Papers, officially titled United States–Vietnam Relations, 1945–1967: A Study Prepared by the Department of Defense, was a top-secret United States Department of Defense history of the United States' political-military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967.

The papers were first brought to the attention of the public on the front page of the New York Times in 1971.

A 1996 article in the New York Times said that the Pentagon Papers "demonstrated, among other things, that the Johnson Administration had systematically lied, not only to the public but also to Congress, about a subject of transcendent national interest and significance".

Read all about it.

5. my opinion too

and he took a lot more heat than Assange has, so far. Wikileaks material is nowhere near as damaging as what the NYT published from Ellsberg.
