Fine. Classify the evidence as Top Secret. Make the judge, jury, barristers and everyone else involved in the case sign the Official Secrets act (thus ensuring they can be charged for treason if it is ever leaked). The government already have procedures in place for doing this (if they did not, they would never be able to charge any spys, or try any case involving the Official Secrets act as a lot of the evidence, by definition, would be classified).
BTW, I was answering the point made on Radio 4, not arguing with you Ramrod (we do appear to agree the government shouldn't just be able to imprison people without proving they are terrorists).
