Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul (perhaps some others) refused to attend the secret session of Congress. In an interview with Democracy Now! ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgnbFCbnB24 ), Kucinich talked about how these things go down. The entire place and every member of Congress are swept for bugs or wires; absolutely no information is supposed to leave. He goes on to say that he won't attend any secret meeting because what happens is that Congress-members are lied to and fed propoganda under the pretext of a national security secret. I guess that last bit is one answer to your question.If the leaks are to be believed, they originated from members who were so outraged and afraid by what took place that they felt compelled to anonymously leak the information to independent news organizations. The mainstream media wouldn't talk about it and the information finally came from a media outlet in Australia.There are some interesting C-SPAN clips from the debate prior to the meeting:Two clips from a radio show discussing the purported contents of the secret meeting:I'm really not sure what to make of all this, but clearly the first bullet point in that list has come true and we're on the cusp of the second. I'm certainly not one to trumpet conspiracy theories (far from it), but to dismiss this amid everything that's been said and has happened is just as silly.
