Governments may try to cover up if 1. they are dishonest enough to wish to hide things that they should not conceal (hiding information is not in itself a cover-up); 2. and they believe that they can successfully cover up the facts, either by effective concealment or using their authority and power to prevent investigation and publication; 3. and they believe that public knowledge of the facts will harm them in some way, from creation of war or a much sensational issues and scandals 4. and they believe that the benefit of a successful cover-up outweighs the risk and harm to them of being caught covering up.
