A secret law is a binding statute, regulation, policy, or directive that, for one reason or another, has been kept secret from the persons to whom it applies. Such laws were common in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries. The term has resurfaced in the United States since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, in reference to certain counterterrorist measures taken by the Bush Administration.
