I don't disagree with you her, but I would ask that you keep in mind the
reason this evidence is considered "too sensitive".  If they were to
divulge that information, it would most likely allow "the enemy" to
figure out how the information was gathered.  If it was gathered by
spys, that would put those people at risk of death, or worse.  If by
some sort of long-range surveillance, then it would give them a better
opportunity to avoid/hinder that surveillance.  Of course, if we don't
show them the evidence, they won't believe that it's convincing, so it's
pretty much a lose-lose situation.  :-(
