I, as well, feel this is important. If you are saying something, then
it should be visible. If not concurrent with the event, then soon there
after. I believe the Federal Reserve does this for some decisions (Fed
Funds rate, etc). They announce the decision now, then (after a period
of time) make public the minutes that went into the decision. Keeping it
'secret' indefinitely is, IMHO, a poor choice.
