Sure it is a curtailing of freedom of speech, much like prohibiting yelling fire in a theater is It's nothing like that. Unless you're talking about one person in one theater yelling fire and getting persecuted for it while a dozen+ others in a dozen+ other theaters (NYTimes, The Guardian, Der Spiegel, Le Monde and El Pais to name just a handful) sit back and "get away" with the exact same activity. Of course, it's also nothing like yelling fire in a theater because there is no evidence that releasing these documents is a direct threat to the safety of anyone, as yelling fire in a theater is.
