Re: [Winona] Trials on Secret Evidence

[Duane M. Peterson]

Phil, I finally got through to the NY Times article.  For all the 70to 80% of Americans who trust the Justice Department to be fair and impartial so that we can let it detain people secretly on secret evidence, they should read the article to see how injustice can be done to innocent people.  This is the first case I've read about which explains actual facts about an actual person, but it is the type of thing that can happen when the regular justice system is sought to be bypassed.  Thanks to Phil for the reference. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Carlson To: Winona Online Democracy Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 11:51 AM Subject: [Winona] Trials on Secret Evidence Related to military tribunals I would urge you all to read Anthony Lewis's article in today's NY Times about a case that has already happened here with eerie overtones -- a man imprisoned based on secret evidence, released and imprisoned again.  Let's be careful out there.   - Phil Carlson, Mpls     http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/01/opinion/L01LEWI.html
