 The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the "New York Times" on 30 June 1971, stating the publication of the Pentagon Papers did not threaten national security, and the next day the "Times" resumed publishing the Pentagon Papers.As Laird predicted, the attempt to ban the Pentagon Papers drew far more public attention to their contents than would have otherwise been the case.In December 1971, the Third Indo-Pakistani war broke out, and the United States despite being neutral was as Kissinger put it "tilted" towards Pakistan, doing everything within its power short of intervention to support Pakistan.
