"claiming to know more of American law than I do?"
Not difficult to claim all things considered.

"The contents were embarrassing for the gov't but they could not reasonably justify classification of the information."

Patriot act?
This simply shows the stupidity and ignorance I was referring to. The Patriot Act was not even a twinkle in anyone's eye at the time this happened. And the Patriot Act couldn't override it in any case because it was finally decided by the Supreme Court and it would take a constitutional amendment to override that. The Patriot Act is merely an act of Congress and cannot override provisions of the Constitution."

I was referring to present government actions.

"If you tried that in a courtroom, you'd be lucky if the judge didn't order the bailiff to throw you out on your can."

You brought up ""Truth is an absolute defense in almost all cases." not me.

"You just claimed that abortion clinics have to meet higher standards than hospital operating rooms."

Now it's time for you to do some research. That is if you want to right an injustice in your country. We don't have that kind of problem in Denmark.
