Also, I wasn't talking about people outside of the U.S.; I am specifically talking about, (like in the article,) Americans on U.S. soil being monitored. Nothing to do with outside countries. :wtf:
The meetings need to be held in secret, though. If it was public, the enemy would know all of the plans, and then it would therefore make it that much easier for them to compromise the security. Think of computer security for a second. An admin of a server hosting a website would never post their method of security, or what they plan to secure it with, on the website for everyone to view. That is stupid, and only allows the enemy to have more information to plan their attacks around.
