I wonder why we should be suspcious of committee behind closed doors - open govenrment, hmm.
Generally, when something is done behind closed doors it's because someone has something to hide - if only that they don't want to be held accountable for their decisions.
Perhaps we should be less quick to jump to the conspiracy theory....re my prior answer
When something is going on behind closed doors, if you can't see the conspiracy, it's generally because you haven't looked hard enough.
