(a simple sign on the door would have sufficed).<br /><br />This is not the first time the AA has attempted to hide from the public: often it has "adjourned", waited for †he media and public to leave, then resumed discussions in private.<br /><br />We consider these practices to not only be unethical and illegal, but anti-democratic and anti-American as well.

Bob Gentle managed to find it. It's a pretty small building. Surprising you were unable to find it, and that you would automatically assume that your failure to find the meeting equates to some nefarious attempt to hid something from the public.
