Why Is the Government Website Always the Last to Know?

USAMRIID is facing a major scandal after the FBI finally seems to have located a likely culprit in the anthrax attacks of 2001 that killed five people. Court documents from the Department of Justice focus on suspect Bruce Ivins with little mention of the previous misidentification of Steven Hatfill as a likely perpetrator.

Yet the newsroom still says nothing about its own employees' involvement in the case. Instead, the site highlights a promotional film with bad digital effects that emphasize projections of the imagery on floating screens and hovering rectangular solids.
