There are typically reasons that this information isn't shared with the general public and suprisingly enough, it's not just because there is a devious plot of world domination involved. Sometimes, it's just to maintain the safety of the people who have their lives on the line.

There's a time to keep things under wraps, and there's a time for openness.
We supposedly live in a Republic, not a tyranny - not in a dictatorship. The citizens are supposed to be ultimately responsible for the course of our government in a Republic.
As prompted by our founding fathers, it's out _Responsibility_ to keep our government in check. There's nothing more American.
Our current government has lied to us time and time again. That's not the way things are supposed to work. They're supposed to be accountable to us.
Unless, of course, you favor the devolvement of our now quasi-republic into a police state/dictatorship.
