There are gag orders for a reason. If the government really feels that there is some uber sensitive information that shouldn't be released than they'll lock it up, but they better have a good reason for it.
You're right of course. It wouldn't take much internet searching to learn what sort of fertizlizer was used in the OK City bomb and how. This guy was, thankfully, a near moron. Judging by the effectiveness of IEDs in Iraq and Afg., these guys are get training in these things on the cheap, and the success ratio is likely to rise in attacks in and on the US.
