This argument is made every time and it's bullshit. HUMINT and SIGINT are more active than ever and plenty of stories could be written about the crazy shit the US alone has gotten itself into to get information about muzzie terrorists.

No more russian boogeyman, and we don't want or need to stirr even more shit up with the middle-east, or with China.

Nobody takes popcorn action flick seriously, so no one is going to feel offended over them. Something that actually would have to put names on the table, and throw accusations, even fictional, could cause some anecdotal problems at least. And we need oil.
