I think the common sense thing would be to not reveal anyone's identity.
I'm saying why not transcripts of the evidence? The testimony (without revealing the identity of the person)?
What is the purpose of keeping it "secret"?
I don't think that anything should be kept secret by the govt. from the people.
I know that there are arguments for "national defense" (just in case we get invaded for the first time since the War of 1812 lol)...but why aren't we allowed to see and thus UNDERSTAND how all these cops keep getting off completely free and not even going to trial?
