    You'll note also that it took people outsid of NASA to subversively reveal the trouble with the O-rings. NASA itself ( as well as Morton-Thiokol) tried to everything they could to bury the whole thing under "spin." They're going about it now too, if you look carefully.

    I suggest you take a look at these email messages released by NASA. Are they telling us everything they know? I doubt it. But this doesn't appear to be an attempt to bury the whole thing under "spin" either.
