The last paragraph of the press release on this hacker news post:

"Finally, in response to questions we have received from other news organisations since Businessweek published its story, we are not under any kind of gag order or other confidentiality obligations."

So you're basically implying that Apple is colluding with the US government to actively lie to discredit this story.

The funny part is that, based on your tone, you can't imagine a case where: 1) that's possible and 2) Apple may not be a willing colluding party.

I can't imagine a case where it's within the US's power to force Apple to falsely deny a story for them, but not within their power to feed a fake story to Bloomberg.
