You are being incredibly obtuse here. Imagine if a top secret document was published. The fact of the document being published does not mean that the document is no longer classified as top secret, just because it has been viewed by people without requisite clearance. Here, the order was secret and due to being a secret order, the public was not aware of it until X released documentation of the order. Documentation being released on the order does not mean that it was not a secret order.
