- ChrisKnott 5y agoI don't understand how that shows I'm "just wrong"...? We agree that Assange published the documents in full and The New York Times didn't. You have linked to the version published after Senator Gravel made them public domain by submitting to the congressional record - nothing comparable happened prior to Wikileaks publishing it's material.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThe New York Times and other publications published multiple pages of the Pentagon Papers, they just were unable to realistically publish the entire leak. If you read the Supreme Court case involving the Times, it clearly says it was about publishing the contents of a classified study, not writing articles about a classified study. There is no content difference, both contained leaked documents and articles about them, the only difference is the limitations of the medium.
