doubled-down on that as a defence when asked about it in various

But, if a lower ranking solider "leaked" this "sensitive information"

Can't do it anyway....

Pentagon Papers - New York Times Co. v. United States
New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713 (1971), was a
landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the
First Amendment right to freedom of the press. The ruling made it
possible for The New York Times and The Washington Post newspapers to
publish the then-classified Pentagon Papers without risk of government
censorship or punishment.
