Activists protesting outside this year's meeting of the secretive Bilderberg Group say American citizens attending the meeting may be breaking the law.

The 56-year-old group, which hosts some of the world's most influential financiers and politicians on annual basis, is alleged to have been the driving force behind the launch of several wars
and behind a push to create a single global government -- a claim that
many observers describe as not credible.

Among the attendees of previous years' meetings were former President Bill Clinton; former UK prime ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Margaret Thatcher; World
Bank head Robert Zoellick; former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke; and US
statesman Henry Kissinger. The
Independent reports that this year's attendees include
Jean-Claude Trichet, head of the European Central Bank, and Queen Reina
of Spain. Russia Today reports of "rumors" that Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner is attending this year's meeting.

Though, of course, there is no way to be certain who is at the conference. This year's meeting is taking place this weekend in Sitges, Spain, a beach
resort town south of Barcelona. Like every year, the meeting is closed
to the press, and its agenda and list of attendees are secret.

Some protesters outside the meeting say the participation of US citizens in the meeting is forbidden by law. One protester told RT that the Logan Act of 1799
forbids US citizens from negotiating in secret with representatives of
foreign governments. Thus, if any American attendee were to come to an
agreement on any issue, it could be a violation of federal law.
