Perhaps this is a good time and place to do so (just because you hear something for the first time doesn't mean that you can't comment).
(I think both Silent Circle and the Skype open letter initiative are great and I'm not affiliated with any of them. Just wanted to point out that not being able to comment on something because it's the first time one hears it sounds weird.)
I meant I can't comment with prior knowledge, because I haven't discussed these issues, not having heard them before. I did comment with my personal opinion in the next sentence.
