#6 Serious points all, but the biggest reason is that there is less benefit to disclosure than to keep secret. Foreseeable is the playing down of any WMD revelation by the MSM and Euros. We see that with pre-1991 degraded materials.

While it would have been nice to give some cover to those of us who have strongly held views that undisclosued WMD was there to be discovered (and some is in Syria and Lebanon), the disadvantage weighs more.

#7 I recall reading that Churchill "permitting" the bombing of Coventry was/is a myth and a rather vicious one at that.
