There are some things we may never know about current and past wars. Did Spain really sink the USS Maine? Did the United States know that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor? And who was really responsible for 9/11? Questions like these may never be awnsered. And its probably a good thing, because some people "can't handle the truth" and the truth may cause allied countries to question their alliance with, for example, the United States. Beside that well... technology also has to be kept a secret. During WW2, Nazi Germany developed some of the most advanced weaponry at the time. From surface to air missiles, cruise missiles, helicopters, guided bombs, and even massive railguns. But thats not even scratching the surface of what else they could have created. I've read about a prototype heat-ray weapon that could melt the side of a battleship within seconds, they were even develpoing a space plane that could attack cities in the United States with nuclear or biological weapons. If the public knew about those weapons during WW2 it could've drained their moral and caused them to worry about attacks on the United States itself. Thats why the government keeps things locked away for no one to know. If the people found out they would have panicked. There may even be things that are being kept a secret from us today...

Thats my take on the subject. :P
