First off, I think that some basic principles of our constitution apply to non-citizens, including the basic rights of habeas corpus and the opportunity for a trial where you can present evidence and confront your accuser.
I don't mind if the jails are secret, or in other countries. I do mind if our government, as it does, keeps "combatants" or any other type of ALLEGED criminal indefinately without a trial.
I'm all for military tribunals and the like. So long as the accused gets a lawyer, access to the evidence against him, and the opportunity to defend himself in a fair tribunal.
These are the bigger issues that concern me -- not whether the jails are secret or not.
