imagine if the real facts were released immediately after sept 11. The rumor would have spread like wildfire, and the distortion that is inevitable from rumors would have resulted in millions panicking unneccessarily, and possibly trying to flee Manhatten (sp?) altogether.
However, the public should have been informed and the problem subsequently rectified before now. Also, by giving imcorrect advice the public, the goverment have left themselves wide open to any potential lawsuits.
