I'll quote V for Vendetta to answer your question:
I want to ask a question, Dominic. I don't care if you answer me or not. I just want to say this aloud… The question I want to ask is about St Mary's and Three Waters. The question that's kept me up for the last 24 hours, the question I have to ask, is: What if the worst, the most horrifying, biological attack in this country's history was not the work of religious extremists?
What if someone else unleashed that virus? What if someone else killed all those people? Would you really want to know who it was?
That's my question. If our own government was responsible for what happened at St Mary's and Three Waters…
if our own government was responsible for the deaths of almost a hundred thousand people… would you really want to know?
