I think most of us realize that level of secrecy happens for highly classified material. I just don't see why this would fit into that category. In my opinion the secrecy surrounding it (and the fact that corporations are in the loop while citizens are not) is reason enough to oppose the TPP. The preview we've seen in the leaked documents makes me wonder how President Obama or anyone on the left could support it.
