I've always wondered what the reasoning behind discussing these topics with the press. I can understand if some nosy reporter is doing their job, uncovering information that is being hidden from the public. But in situations like this, I can't really see the value in discussing with the press; and I'm sure they wouldn't say anything to the press without getting some value from it.
- rdiddly 5y agoGiven how long this particular article goes on about how they don't know anything, they're baffled etc., I'm guessing the value of it is in concealing how much they do know. Maybe an adversary is responsible and they know perfectly well and want to make further observations. Or maybe our own spy agencies are responsible.
