Secret 9/11 case goes to U.S. Supreme Court

The Christian Science Monitor has an article on a case relating to September 11th that is almost completely secret:

Yet this seemingly phantom case does exist – and is now headed to the US Supreme Court in what could produce a significant test of a question as old as the Star Chamber, abolished in 17th-century England: How far should a policy of total secrecy extend into a system of justice?
