Think about it logically, they are people with power. If they host the summit somewhere else, it will show their lack of control. No politician wants to portray itself and it's members as weak and powerless.

Nice, just don't get caught if you video tape the police, I know they just recently made that illegal over there. Be safe! Looking forward to the footage.
Although I have a feeling that they are going to be to pre-occupied CYA'ing to worry about videographers.
