EVIDENCE CANT BE SWEPT AWAY

A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] evidence of wrong-doing, error, incompetence or other [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] information. The expression is usually applied to people in positions of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] who abuse their power to avoid or silence [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or to deflect [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of wrongdoing. Those who initiate a cover up (or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty or a crime.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, cover-up involves withholding incriminatory evidence, while whitewash involves releasing misleading evidence.


MODERN USAGE
When a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] breaks, the discovery of an attempt to cover up is often regarded as even more reprehensible than the original deeds.
The mildest case, not quite a cover-up, is simply to release news which could be embarrassing but is not important enough to guarantee attention at a time when other news is dominating the headlines, or immediately before a holiday or weekend.
Initially a cover-up may require little effort; it will be carried out by those closely involved with the misdeed. Once some hint of the hidden matter starts to become known, the cover-up gradually draws all the top leadership, at least, of an organization into complicity in covering up a misdeed or even crime that may have originally been committed by a few of its members acting independently. This may be regarded as tacit approval of that behaviour.^{[[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]]}
It is likely that some cover-ups are successful although by definition this cannot be confirmed. Many fail, however, as more and more people are drawn in and the possibility of exposure makes potential accomplices fearful of supporting the cover-up and as loose ends that may never normally have been noticed start to stand out. As it spreads, the cover-up itself creates yet more suspicious circumstances.
The original misdeed being covered may be relatively minor, such as the 'third-rate burglary' which started the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], but the cover-up adds so many additional crimes ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], payoffs and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], in some cases suspicious suicides or outright [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) that the cover-up becomes much more serious than the original crime.
Cover-ups do not necessarily require the active manipulation of facts or circumstances. Arguably the most common form of cover-up is one of non-action. It is the conscious failure to release incriminating information by a third party. This "passive cover-up" is often justified by the motive of not wanting to embarrass the culprit or expose them to criminal prosecution or even the belief that the cover-up is justified by protecting the greater community from scandal. Yet, because of the passive cover-up, the misdeed often goes undiscovered and results in harm to others ensuing from its failure to be discovered. (In Catholic [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] this would be considered the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])^{[[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]]}
Real cover-ups are common enough, but any event which is not completely clear is likely to give rise to a thicket of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] alleging covering up of sometimes the most weird and unlikely conspiracies.
A cover-up need not involve wrong-doing. In a number of countries the incidence of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is often covered up, either because of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or to forestall panic. This is often counter-productive, allowing the disease to spread unchecked when precautions could be taken. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] have been covered up in the first few years of the 21st century. In 2006 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] has been more open about avian flu, which has helped in dealing with an [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].^{[[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]]}
"Snowjob" is an American colloquialism for a deception or a cover-up; for example, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] described the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] as "the greatest snow job in history."^{[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]}
Reasons


People, governments or institutions may try to cover up if

• they are dishonest enough to wish to hide things that they should not conceal (hiding information is not in itself a cover-up);
  
• 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;
  
• and they believe that public knowledge of the facts will harm them in some way, from long jail sentences through possible loss of electoral office to mere embarrassment;
  
• and they believe that the benefit of a successful cover-up outweighs the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and harm to them of being caught covering up.

One of the Tapas mob will eventually crack under the strain.

I would like to predict that another guest staying out there who was part of the wider group, will come to realise that if one goes down, they all go down and they will make a deal in return for immunity.

Reputations are a funny thing, especially where £££ is concerned. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

[PeterMac]

Too much to hope that a half decent journalist asks a few simple questions, I suppose.

[Jill Havern]

I take it you mean a half decent British journalist....cos Sandra Felgueiras, the decent Portuguese journalist, asked a simple question and was greeted with this indecent response from Gerry: "Ask the dogs, Sandra."

[PeterMac]

Yes, sorry.

[Guest]

I thought all of our journo's had been gagged.

Break that little rule and you will never work again in that industry...

I know you may not have thought of this one but how about 'catching the bleedin abductor'?
 
Hmmmm, that would make sense!
 
Sorry if that's a little confusing for some! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] 

[Wendy]

What bleedin' abductor would that be Garth? Is that what you're doing on your computer, Garth, trying to catch the bleedin' abductor?

[Guest]

Errrrrrrr which one??

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

[Wendy]

Errrrrrrr which one??

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Even the McCann's can't be arsed to search for the bleedin' abductor who they believe is in a secret lair in Praia de Luz cos they know there ain't no bleedin' abductor :iconbiggrin:

Nice one Candy, you got me there. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] 
 
5th from the left looks pretty good! I reckon he could get through a key hole. What's your favourite?

[Wendy]

The first one, Mr Egghead, would be a better choice especially if he was scrambled...he'd get through the smallest of gaps.

No, you couldn't...but for 4 years now that's what they've done. with a little help from their friends of course

[Garth]

Yeah I see your point, number one does look familiar. No emotions shown whatsoever! Now who could that be I wonder!

Gerry? Hair is too short to be Kate.

[Garth]

I actually thought Gerrys'legs were longer than that!

No, he's always been a low down bum.

[sherokee]

There is an old saying that springs to mind  - "give someone enough rope and they will eventually hang themselves"!

[NewGuest]

 A whitewash - as with Diana and David Kelly.

I suspect that we will never discover what happened to Madeleine.

I would hope that eventually the parents concentrate on giving their two remaining children the fullest life possible.... instead of gadding off to promote their book.

I am hoping cat baker tells the truth and bugger the mccanns and their treats to any one who doesnt believe in the kate and gerry's abduction
