On another note, D-J, why do you suppose this Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. holds its meetings in secret?
Could possibly be for a few reasons, none of which will please those worried about secret government dealings. One of which could be because they convene to discuss matters of national security, and could be discussing top secret protocols, documents, etc. Another, more conspiratorial route would be that the government, or at least those on the panel, get a taste out of the cash brought about by transactions and such. But that might not be the case.
