The short answer is that we are at war and at war you don't give information to the enemy. In WW2 this was known as "Loose lips sink ships." If the case is exposed to the discovery that is part of a civilian trial, we risk revealing to the enemy how we know what we know, and the extent of what we know - and also what we don't know (our weaknesses). Also, I think that the military is a more reliable servant of justice than is the corrupt civilian system.

Do you honestly believe that in all these years of having various classifications for information secrecy, that we have not developed acceptably reliable and secure means of and procedures for properly presenting such evidence at criminal trials?
