Your thoughts? My personal opinion is very much against closed hearings, due to the temptation to commit a miscarriage of justice when nobody is looking. The fact that the courts are open is probably one of the few things preventing many officials doing just that.
Yes, I'm personally very against closed hearings.
Basically, if you have enough evidence against someone you should be able to take it to court. If you can't take your evidence to an open court, you probably don't have enough of it to be charging someone. Even if the US military pinky-swears it's legit.
What if the US military breaks your pinkies till you swear it's legit? :P
