WHY exactly would the Bush administration and the military want to keep this a secret?

Because "expired and degraded chemical" weapons were not the kind of WMDs we were duped into go to war for. "Mushroom Clouds" was the picture they were painting.

[what's up]

No, they were talking about ANY kind of WMD including chem and bio.

And this was only one of the reasons we invaded. Saddam was shooting at our pilots, playing footsie with the inspectors and had violated UN resolutions for years. All very very good reasons for invasion.
