To believe the the NSA has broken SHA-2 would be to believe that the NSA found something the entire rest of the world combined hasn't found for twenty years.

Why would the NSA or any other intelligence agency reveal that it had cracked/compromised an encryption technology? Wouldn't they keep it a secret as long as possible, to collect as much damaging information as possible, just as the allies did in WWII?
