The meeting was open to the world, and there were no secrets involved. It was a discussion about the WTO. The sectarians were making points I'd agree with - e.g. that the focus should be on capitalism and imperialism rather than just the WTO itself - but in a horribly robotic and alienating way. Anyone who stood in front of a rank & file union or other popular but unconverted audience and talked that way would be tuned out in an instant.
