That's both far too idealistic, and an incredible security risk.

Disputes as to what "doesn't need to be kept secret" means can be carried out in private, where no one else can hear, between the papers and the government.

Where no one can hear...except for the people in the papers doing the dispute. Many times it's easier to get a job working for a paper than it is to get one working for the government. So now the people in the paper that you're arguing with know the classified information. These people could be spies, or just interested in leaking the information regardless of the outcome of the dispute.
