Be sure you're right, then go ahead. Going ahead means talking to higher management, laying out your concerns ("I'm worried this may be the case" not "This is the case, absolutely, and you must act now!") then asking if they think you're right. I would also style this as a question of management theory, not the individual in question. "I believe Dan is using the STFU management technique and it's not a fit for our unique situation..."

That, I'd say, is the best answer so far. Do not confront anybody, just ask questions (to enlighten yourself), and let the upper management know about the secrets (because they obviously aren't secrets, your manager isn't allowed to have secrets, so you can freely talk about them). Be as friendly as you can be, and talk about policies, not people. They may actually not know about your division's problems, and correct the situation. Also, look for another job. It is possible that your manager has friends up there, and won't be fired. That means your team will, one way or the other.
