Thousands Of Secret Federal Court Trials Withheld From the Public

Dear Everyone;
   
  Here's a late breaking news story about how literally thousands of federal court cases have been kept secret for the supposedly compelling reasons they involved cases of murder or were drug related. Only a small amount were actually considered terrorist related.
   
  One wonders how much longer it will be before there are totally secret trials without anyone knowing a case was heard on evidence which was never made public and a sentence meted out without anyone knowing what happened to the defendant or the witnesses?
