Details of lab-made bird flu won't be revealed opionon

i recently read an article called "Details of lab-made bird flu won't me revealed" on yahoo.com. this aricle is about how the government asked scitetist to reaserch the probability of the mutation of the H5N1 flu virus and becoming a even bigger danger for people. scientists were surprised to see how easy the virus mutated and became easer to be transmitted from person to person.  then the government decided that they did not want the public to know about the activity of the scientist in fear that there would be bio attacts and some people might infect other people on purpose. even thouh they created this study to help people with the virus if it ever mutats they fear that it would be used for terrorist attacts in stead of its original purpose. I am a little upset that the government would not want us citizen to know about the new information. but t the same time i understand the logic behind their decision. but it was not as effective as they probably though it would be since there is an aricle out about it. i am also concerned that with the little bit of info that  is out about what the government is doing will be noticed and that maby someone will decide to hi-jac the fasilitly and create a whole new bio war. also i wonder if our government might use this new information to attack other contries if we have diputes. we might become the terrorist we are so afraid of. i also wonder weither they plan to see how this virus will effect humans. since there were probably no testing on humans in the reaserch how would they know accuratly or not that this strain of the H5N1 virus.
