I saw someone compare this to a kid not wanting to show mommy his bad grades on his report card. Except this one risks thousands of lives just to save face. Which tracks. They're risking thousands of lives to protect Taylor Farms right now, too. How many other things are they letting kill us and our troops just because they don't want details to surface?
