I wanted to quote Ari's comment, but I'm not sure if it would provide anything fruitful. However, I would like to illustrate at least from the perspective of American History that there has been many atrocious assaults on humanity committed by Federal Agencies.

There has been many things that were swept under the rug. There has been senseless sacrifice of human life for the endeavors of the American Government as recent as the late 1990's.

The fact still remains that organizations like Wiki leaks are vital to counter balance the spin of world governments and corporations. Media is in the pockets of big government and big corporation. People are the lambs to be slaughtered by the wolves.
