Why did gen colin Powell not tell the whole truth about the us spy plane present when kal 007 was shot down in sept 1983?

On Wed evening 20th April 2011 at 7.30pm, TV Channel 7 in Perth Western Australia broadcast an episode of Air Crash Investigations. The subject matter was the shooting down of Korean Airlines flight KAL 007 en route from Alaska to Korea by Major Gennady Osipovich of the Soviet Air Defence Command, with the loss of its 269 passengers, because the plane had flown over the Kamchatka Peninsula and then the island of Sakhalin, both Soviet territories, and its mis-identification as a spy plane. An extract from Page 284 of Colin Powell's autobiography "A Soldier's Way" reads "The Russians had tried to pass off KAL 007 as a spy plane, adding falsehood to a tragic blunder." The independent air crash investigators examining the cause of the KAL 007 crash events confirmed that there was an U. S. spy plane flying the KAL 007 course at a higher altitude at the same time. It seems to me that Colin Powell was equally guilty of adding falsehood to the events at the time by his omission to acknowledge the presence of the U.S. spy plane. There is every possibility that these tragic deaths would not have taken place had the U.S. spy plane not been present at the same time as KAL 007. This in no way excuses Major Osipovich's action, but in his interview shown on the program, he said that he had fired shots past the airliner (not tracer - he didn't have any) after which co-incidentally the airliner had commenced a steep climb to change its altitude from 28,000 to 35,000 feet. This was seen as an evasive action by the Osipovich when in fact it was an agreed change, with air traffic control, because of the presence of headwinds at the 28,000 ft level. The reason for the plane being inside Soviet territory was the result of definitively identified pilot error by both the KAL 007 pilots.
