On what grounds should it be illegal to tell the truth about a matter? Damaging lies and unproven statements can be dealt with by defamation laws.

And name revelation afterward should be the case unless there are strong reasons not to. For those who have a true interest, attending the court in person will have to suffice. This allows for public trials without exhibitionist trials. .-= My last blog-post ..<a href="http://bethyada.blogspot.com/2009/12/herods-slaughter-of-innocents.html" rel="nofollow">Herod's slaughter of the innocents</a> =-.
