One of the men who appeared on the Smerconish show with Davis addressed the issue of why this has not gotten wings. He said, quite logically IMO, that once a decision is made that an issue is a certain thing (IOW, once it was decided that McVeigh & Nichols worked alone) it gets hard to reverse your path b/c too many people and egos are committed to the initial decision. He spent some time on the show developing this idea and it made a lot of sense.

Yes, and Bush et al. might figure something along the lines of "Why ruin a good thing until it's necessary?" I'm convinced this is connected to all the big questions about Iraq. Seems so simple to me...They obviously don't want to tell us, maybe don't want to scare us, maybe believe they are outsmarting Sadaam. It's understandable, just don't know that it's the right thing to do.

I do believe that is the most common cause of cover-ups. Like any lie, once they're started, the prospect of revelation gets more and more embarrassing, and the efforts to conceal increase.
