Hi JG Secrecy in the initial stages might be necessary to preclude the arrested party from warning associates, so they can destroy evidence, or flee. If they are classified as enemy combatants, they lose their constitutional rights... We know this from Graham & Kavanaugh in the SC hearing - “Johnson versus Eisentrager” Supreme Court decision. That includes the right to spend millions of dollars on lawyers to prolong judicial procedures and tie things up for ever, whilst they carry on their lives... If they fit the military court profile, they deserve a quick hearing, with evidence provided, and a quick judgement by a military judge, and if guilty, an immediate sentence.... Secrecy would only need to be maintained if further accomplices were as yet not detained. Once that no longer applies, the Verdict and sentence could and should be announced for all to see... Can’t see anything controversial there....
