Henry's commentary on that from the armory was brilliant. "Boy, you guys really have trust issues..."
Seriously, though, it started innocently enough--Jack kept the existence of the briefcase full of guns a secret because it might get out of hand if people knew about them (he was thinking mainly of Sawyer, I think, but he also didn't much trust Kate at the time). Then Locke kept the hatch a secret, because he didn't know what he was dealing with and wanted to know more before he told anybody. Then they justified keeping secrets because they didn't want to cause a scare or get people's hopes up...
One way or another, there's this "in the loop" thing. It's been referred to a few times. Remember Arszt? The exploding science teacher? He had a great rant about how "there are over 40 of us! How come you eight or twelve are so important?" Hurley bugged Jack about it just recently too--"You know, if you kept me in the loop about this sort of stuff, I could be way more helpful." "There's no loop." "Oh, there's a loop."
