[Ansteorra] Transparency. was CLOSED MEETINGS

[Sir Morgan Buchanan]

So you CAN think of reasons why the doors should legitimately be closed.... 
Are you then saying you are choosing to believe this isn't one of those 
times?  I'm at a loss here...  Everyone seems to be saying they can see 
there are reasons for closed door meetings, and nobody knows for certain 
that "this" isn't one of those times.
