Also attending the meeting were Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day and Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador to the United States.
Traditionally, visits by cabinet-rank U.S. officials are accompanied by a bit of public fanfare, including an advance announcement by Ottawa. But Mr. Harper's guarded style of government has been characterized by unpublicized federal cabinet meetings and an unannounced visit by the Prime Minister of Haiti. Mr. Harper's office issued a hastily written note about Mr. Negroponte's visit only after journalists began asking why Mr. Bush's top intelligence official was on Parliament Hill. The note, which mistakenly referred to the director of national intelligence as the director of national security, said Mr. Negroponte was making a courtesy call.

Everybody got to deviate from the norm
I see a reframe in order.<br />
So many secrets. Why would anyone trust any government?<br />

Yes I am a cynic. Cynic is the classical sense, <br />
"Cynicism originates in the philosophical schools of ancient Greece that claim a Socratic lineage. To call the Cynics a “school” though, immediately raises a difficulty for so unconventional and anti-theoretical a group. Their primary interests are ethical, but they conceive of ethics more as a way of living than as a doctrine in need of explication."<br />

Firstly, to believe in a human intelligence greater than our own is folly, and to give those we see as superior power of authority over us is idiotic! <br />
<br />
What aggravates my no end is I must suffer for the idiocy of those to lazy to or without the backbone to take responsibility for themselves. In my background and amongst tight friends we have a name for what I am talking about. It is called ‘Playing the outside’ and what it means in essence is looking after one another’s interests. I have discovered that this code goes back to a time before the Bar, pulpit, lawyers and press conned us all and established themselves as authority<br />
