Sometimes what's hidden needs to be shown.

Yeah you can argue along the lines of "little white lies don't hurt anyone" and "sometimes the truth hurts more then the lie" but IMO it's better for the person to know so they can get past it.

Nations have fought wars with other nations over rumors and faiths, so you don't think that other nations won't get upset with american and that they could possibly be swayed to pull support for any future endeavors the US wants to make?

Let me give you an example in fiction: Batman was kicked outta the JLA when it was revealed he had information and a guideline on how to defeat the rest of the heroes in case they turned bad.
