I know the article goes into a lot of the secrecy in these new courts being constructed, but this did put a little scare into me:
"But the new courtroom, in what is described as a cost-saving measure, has no such gallery. Only people with a secret clearance, such as members of the intelligence community and specially cleared guards and lawyers, will be allowed inside the new chamber."
"As a workaround, the court staff is designing a “virtual gallery with multiple camera angles simultaneously displayed,” said Ron Flesvig, a spokesman for the Office of Military Commissions. The public would be escorted there to watch the proceedings, streamed on a 40-second delay."
We have had enough secrecy in the US, and I don't think we need it any courtroom that may dealing with trials for us, or for treasonous people from America. I would rather have any or all of them broadcast live on a free channel that anyone could watch when they wanted to, while the trial was in progress, of course. I know the military is different and the transparency may not be the same, but in trials that are coming in 2023, they should be accessible to anyone that wants to watch. My thoughts, and my two cents added to this topic.
