"Anonymous tips don't remain anonymous in court." Evidence can and is withheld from defense using mechanisms like States Secrets.

  State secrets is a mechanism to exclude evidence, not introduce it.

    That's why I said withheld, yes.

      So how do state secrets privileges introduce anonymous evidence? Maybe at this point it would be helpful for us to have a specific case to refer to. Could you point us to one?

        "So how do state secrets privileges introduce anonymous evidence?" By allowing anonymous evidence to be introduced, obviously.
