It would be wrong to suggest that they're 'on our side', whatever that means, just because they met with Schneier. This could be a publicity stunt, a fact-hunting exercise (What exactly do you know, Mr. Schneier?), or just a genuine personal interest in checking other sources of information against the NSA line. Regardless of their motivation, these people are still part of the same machine that put the NSA in motion, and thus far have been ineffective in curbing even it's more obvious breaches. Action speak louder than words...
