Sometimes I pause when I read about how hard some military leadership is trying to stop disclosure. If all of this is just weapons testing then, okay, that makes normal sense. If it’s because there is a ton of graft, then, wow, that’s still a story. But what if it’s just really disturbingly bad news and they really are trying to stop a well-founded risk of global panic.
If the government were keeping a dark secret, then at some point the band-aid needs to be ripped off and the public needs to find out. Obviously, that’s easier to say from the perspective of someone in the dark. But, a controlled release of information is likely better than hiding it until some people or groups break down and just drop it all at once.
