]Well, John, I seem to remember in my history classes (I'm too young to have

It is true that the Pentagon Papers were not for the public's eyes. However,
they were not of criminal value (unlike credit card numbers) and did
bear on major public issues. This is not to imply that I think they
should have been published! PS - I am not too you to remember.
