THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.
You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.
Have fun!

Pretty much they want to be able to cure KA on their terms, but still be able to have it usable as a weapon when they want.
They want people to remain afraid until that happens because people afraid are people easily controlled.
And they're also doing it for power because all the laws created since the first Rising would end up being rescinded if there were no longer any need for them with a cure.
