Please. This was about image. Its purest speculation that keeping silent would have aided the DMLE in their efforts, and considering there were at least two days between the escape and the posters appearing with no results, how confident can you be in that method? The irony is the Ministry could have been honest from the beginning, reassured everyone and advised them on how to be safe, and the public would have eaten it up. Instead the importance of their safety, not to mention their right to protect themselves, was downgraded.
I want to know what you would have said, Stebbins, not the Ministry. Surely you can still extract yourself from your public image.
