Anyway, wasn't this already addressed by the Pentagon Papers case, New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713 (1971)?
en.wikipedia.org;

As you well know, the cited case was (a) a per curiam decision by the Supreme Court, and (b) involved the question of prior restraint.

Citation to the case is not on point to the current discussion. No one is talking abour trying to restrain publication, what is under discussion is the consequences for publication of classified information.
