At least this time, the American public is, for the most part, as fully informed about this matter as the government.
When has the American public ever been as informed as
the government?
or am I just missing the sarcasm?
I should have said that at least the Navy is releasing information as they receive it (with some delay) instead of covering it up behind a cloak of secrecy.
That said, some branch of the government most likely knows a great deal more about this situation than the general public. But then again, who knows.
From listening to the interview with Cmdr David Fraver, it appears that, even though he was on the front line of this experience as a pilot, he has no idea what he saw.
