[Ads-l] _secret_ > "secretive"?

[Wilson Gray]

Headline:
"After two years, the NSA has finished rebidding its 'Groundbreaker'
program and is beginning work on a _secretive_ new set of communications
contracts."
goo.gl/2QSA9G

Shouldn't that be _secret_? Or is it just me? In the past few years, I've
seen hundreds of examples of what strikes me as the misuse of _secretive_
where _secret_ should be used. But,

Youneverknow. YMMV.
