Secret US Courts = Tyranny

According to this report, a judge has refused to allow Julian Assange to learn about the charges against him:

Dear Judge Leonie - Haven't you ever read these words?

US Constitution, 6th Amendment
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

I suppose your rationale for denying Julian's request is that secret courts are under no obligation to reveal their "charges" or their "evidence", right?

Doesn't this entire situation strongly suggest the US has become a corrupt, tyrannical, military dictatorship?
