I would think you could get some of the media on distributing Classified information.

Trouble is, the Supreme Court has declared that's OK as long as you weren't the ones originally stealing the classified info to begin with. That was the Pentagon Papers case.

I was fiercely against the Pentagon Papers publishing originally. At this point, I'm not on that side any longer. FAR TOO MANY THINGS ARE CLASSIFIED. And, even many classified things that are reasonably classified ARE KNOWN BY BOTH CHINA AND RUSSIA but NOT citizens. And we know they know. Still the citizens are kept in the dark. I'm against that.

I'd like to see us try 100 years with extremely few things classified. MOST OF IT IS TO COVER-UP corrupt and embarrassing crap anyway. We've lived far too long classifying every crazy political skullduggery under the sun. Enough already yet.
