For the same reason that data and datflow was not spoken about in WWII: it will compromise security.
Should the Congress have spoken about Enigma, the Japnaese derivatoin of the same, and the clever math heads who broke it?
Should they have spoken about how they had some indications that Pearl was going to be targeted?
This second guessing, and the weakness that is leading to it, is more dangerous than anything ObL has done to us so far.
As for the families, they are being made millionaires over their loss. War is hell, but their fat wallets should give them some comfort. Sorry for the harsh line, but this is serious stuff.
I am wondering if we have what it takes to win this?
