Others inveighed against "gray-mail," a lighter shade of blackmail that defense attorneys legitimately or illegitimately use to try to force the Government to reveal information that it wants to keep secret. But the Government did try to get around the graymail defense in the ITT case by asking the judge to rule out irrelevant national security information privately in his chambers before going to trial.
