how do you figure that by you knowing all the information that the government knows that you are really going to be any safer? Maybe there was evidence on that plane that the government did not want to make light of because in some way by them acting like they dont know anything they might have the enemy fooled. maybe by not making all information public, we are preventing the enemy from knowing everything.
You are not any safer by knowing all details. You are safer by our government not blabbing all the info.
