Because the Cold War relied so much on intelligence gathering and covert military actions, leaders often felt the need to conceal information from Congress and the American public. The historical event that best fits this description is the invasion of the Bay of Pigs.
The US government never supported Communism and was worried about Fidel Castro assuming the government of the Island of Cuba, Tha represented a victory for the Soviet Union and its political goal of spread Communism in America. So on January 1, 1959, the CIA planned an invasion to oust Castro. But the secret mission failed. After just one day of hostilities, the Cuban Army defeated the invaders. Actions like this usually were concealed to the citizens of the US because they were secretly coveted in order to have more impact when the time came to act on them.
