A government has the function of creating order in a society. From that perspective I can understand, but neither agree or disagree, with the motivation.
Truth is valuable but sometimes it is more opportunistic to distort it.
Just like, as is currently discussed in another topic, most people who bake a cake would not like to hear it is no good, so does the general population not like to hear really bad news about "their cherished society". Especially not after an attack on the US like on September 11.
In retrospect everybody is shocked of course, "the herd animals now all change orientation".
Typical, herd animal behavior, the collective does no want to know about bad things, unfair things, everything should be nice, equal, inclusive, helping, affirmative and above all there must be "green pastures", but then when the truth cannot hide any longer the collective reacts, it freezes in disbelief, it attempts to absorb the dissonance, it gets upset and demands a scapegoat to be offered.
Truth versus disorder and opportunism, what would you do if you were a responsible government?
