If you're a believer in rights you shouldn't even play their game.
There shouldn't even be secret courts. Debating their integrity almost glosses over the real, more fundamental, problem.
Secret courts themselves, their very existence, are abuses. That's just my opinion, but I really do think you start down a dark path when you create this type of judicial organ.

- Mirioron 7y agoWhen I learned about history in school I learned about how bad the past was, how there were so many abuses of power. One thing that stood out to me was that what enabled many of these abuses of power was the ability for the rulers to keep things secret. I naively thought that in our day and age we, or at least the West, had done away with secret courts. The time around Snowden was quite shocking to me. I fully agree that secret courts are a bad idea and that a free society has no place for them.
