The Associated Press reports today that the supposed North Carolina terrorism suspects may be tried with secret evidence.

The men charged in the case are to appear in federal court on Tuesday.

And you better cooperate with us.' "

Also found at the home of Daniel Patrick Boyd and his sons were gas masks and a book that FBI special agent Michael Sutton called "essentially our playbook to how we respond to acts of terrorism."
