The new bomber is being engineered with improved stealthy technology able to evade the most advanced air defenses in the world. The Pentagon Inspector General is investigating what should remain secret and what should be discussed in public.

Secrecy and classification parameters of Air Forces' new "in-early-development" next-generation B-21 Raider stealth bomber will be analyzed by the Pentagon's Inspector General to investigate just how many details, strategies and technological advances related to the emerging platform should be highly classified.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If this represents a significant edge over what everyone else has, then the details should be confined to those who need to know. The average schmuck not only doesn't need to know, but likely would not understand how it works, but you can bet there are others in the world who will read all they can on the tech and send it home, if they aren't already there when they read it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
