Feds urge secrecy over network outages
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-06-23

Giving the public too many details about significant network service outages could present cyberterrorists with a "virtual road map" to targeting critical infrastructures, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which this month urged regulators to keep such information secret.

Another glorious attempt by the US Gov to hide any flaws in the rock solid foundation that is America.

pfffft. Open it up and let it get fixed! Don't hide it. If you can disclose an outage and have a way to fix it, Why are you worried about it, because the public will find out the infrastructures you talk about are not as secure as you would like and are generally run by a bunch of morons..
