New York Times Co. v. United States (1971)

New York Times published "The Pentagon Papers", which was stolen by Ellsberg, and the federal government temporary order stopping the Times from publishing the papers. And In a 6-3 decision, the Court agreed that they are free to publish "The Pentagon Papers."
I personally do not agree with this decision, because this information would lead to battlefield casualties and diplomatic difficulties.
