Knowing your baby is offensively ugly, is hurtful, and there's really not much you can do about it.
You're not going to get a facelift on an infant, right?
So this is unnecessary harm.
What do I need to know?
What you think about my baby that I think is beautiful that I'm not going to change, right?
They certainly didn't tell the public everything.
For about a week after this discovery, the White House kept the information secret.
And Kennedy, meanwhile, assembled a group of top advisers to deliberate about this and what to do in private.
And so then they secretly also back-channeled with the Soviet Union through trusted intermediaries and then eventually announced to the nation that there would be this U.S.
response of a quarantine.
Right.
And that was part of the tradeoff.
Right.
Do we inform the public fully and risk a panic and a premature military response and escalation?
Or do we engage in some form of deception for at least some time?
Absolutely.
And I think this is the tension that comes with lying.
We could argue that this was the right lie to tell, that it successfully promoted the U.S.
interests and avoided a lot of harm, but it's never without some long-term cost.
And in this case, the cost is trust, trust in what your leaders are telling you.
