We are not to know that our own government is at war with us. And if we suspect and object, that is proof that we are the enemy.
National security is at stake here.

It makes perfect sense if one is a paranoid power monger whose pay check depends on anyone "not us" automatically being the enemy. "Not us", being anyone not rich enough to profit from their wars.
