> US embarrassments, however, have movies made about them, as opposed to burying them as deeply as possible In some ways, I think this can actually serve to make people believe that real events were fictional - after all, movies are generally fictional or at least with a good dose of artistic license. I also must point out that some western governments will go to extreme lengths to bury bad actions as deeply as possible - if it wasn't for leakers, there are a whole host of Western war crimes and atrocities that would never have surfaced to the public. Even when they do, government and media propaganda machines are very efficient at convincing the general populace there is nothing to see here. We like to berate China and others for bad actions (rightly so), but in many respects Western governments are appalling hypocrites.
