New york vs United States 1971?

In 1971, the Supreme Court ruled in New York Times v. United States that the government cannot prevent the publication of information simply because it is classified as secret. The case involved the Pentagon Papers, a leaked study of the history of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, which the Nixon administration sought to prevent The New York Times from publishing. The Court held that the First Amendment's freedom of the press guarantee protected the Times's right to publish the information.
