"Dangerously untrue" is entirely subjective. NSA director testified that Snowden revelations were untrue. Snowden revelations cost US credibility, and probably has hampered our ability to "protect the globe". Does that make Snowden's revelations dangerously untrue?

Is there a specific legal test you could propose to distinguish actually 'dangerously untrue' information from info which just threatens existing power structures?
