1. I guess I have to accept that some of these hearings have to be

closed, but damn it, I sure would like to know what the hell is really going on!

3. Why closed? He already admitted to the destruction of evidence

of 'enhanced interrogation techniques' (you know, torture)

I don't accept that this particular meeting needs to be closed. I have a RIGHT to know the extent of my government's involvement in war crimes. Hiding war crimes behind the banner of state secrets is just plain cowardly. No different than Bush when he claims 'in the interest of national security' to avoid transparency and the truth about all his other crimes.
