Yes, at least part of the Army is trying hard to whitewash this mess.

Any other questions?  Like maybe about the politicians in uniform trying to make it go away?

Thomas Jeffersons' chemical lab discovered.  I like this part:
The room was sealed in one of the lower-floor walls of the iconic Rotunda in the mid-1840s and protected from a fire in 1895 that destroyed much of the building’s interior.
"Let's seal this off, it doesn't fit with what we want people to see", probably.  And may well have saved it for us.

 And now, if you'll excuse me, I need to buy a plug to repair an extension cord
