It makes sense, seriously. Similar situation with the Pentagon Papers. There was nothing in there that would help the Viet Cong/NLF attack differently. It was just politically embarrassing material that needed to be kept out of the hands of the American public.

But the security of the powerful is national security. They are the only ones the state still protects - but it protects them like a goddam pit bull.

Awesome. I love it when you can see his righteous anger coming through. Reminds me that way of his White House Correspondents Dinner speech in front of Bush.
