Federal appeals court bars Washington Post secrecy order
A federal appeals panel ruled courts may block publication of material the government says should stay secret for national security. The court barred The Washington Post from further stories based on a top secret 7,000 page Defense Department study on U.S. Vietnam involvement, reversing Judge Gesell who said the data were historical, not secret. The Times faced a similar ban. Post weighs appeal as second edition rolled to press.
