Comment Secret Evidence (Score 1) 400
There are at least 20 Arabs/Muslims in Jail right now without being told of their crime. Their American Attorneys can't even see that evidence. They can be held like this because they are not US citizens. In most of the cases the suspects are Green card holders. At least they told Skylarov what crime he was being held on.
The cases are usually thrown out once a judge is allowed to review the evidence against the suspects, but this can take years, average of 4 years per case before the judge gets to see the actual evidence. The evidence usually is an anonymous phone call from an enemy or a former wife or a news paper article from a small town news paper insinuating terrorism charges without any concrete evidence.
The reason the warrant is sealed in this case is probably that the evidence is very weak. If you don't agree there is a bias against Muslims or Arabs then read about these so called "Secret Evidence" cases.
