Exactly. You think the government's never done a cover-up? And in this case a cover-up it would be justified - They wouldn't want to disgust and divide the country in a time when everybody needs to pull together, so their motives for covering it up would be in the interests of the nation rather than just to protect themselves.

Anyway, we're going off topic, but those are my beliefs, based on actions by governments (not just the US government) in the past.
