When the Palestinian uprising began in 2000, Shin Bet initially tried to keep information about imminent attacks secret. But whenever it put up new checkpoints to thwart the terrorists, radio stations would report the traffic snarls that ensued, and the government would be forced to acknowledge the terrorism threat.
