| The government is able to keep secrets, and I will provide some examples. The Manhattan Project, the Stealth Fighter, and Stealth Bomber, Operation Northwoods are all good examples of secrecy staying intact because of military compartmentalization. Only the people who "need to know" are ever let in on the total plan, and that is how the secrets are kept with so many players in the game.
Ironically, Operation Northwoods was only disovered by using the Freedom of Information Act to investigate another conspiracy, the Kenedy assasination.
So Bush does not have to be all powerful, or all knowing, he just has to be in charge. |
