new america planning big new prison in afghanistan

“The Pentagon is moving forward with plans to build a new, 40-acre detention complex on the main American military base in Afghanistan, officials said, in a stark acknowledgment that the United States is likely to continue to hold prisoners overseas for years to come.

The proposed detention center would replace the cavernous, makeshift American prison on the Bagram military base north of Kabul, which is now typically packed with about 630 prisoners, compared with the 270 held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.”

    America’s “Can do” attitude wins the day again. Perhaps we should just change our name to the United Gulags of the World!

    Someone, please remind me; Why are we #1? Oopsy daisy, nevermind…I forgot about our military might.

    I am mortified by these US prisons. I also wonder if Bushco is busy setting up covert Blackwater run gulogs for those who might like private prisoner services. that idea is not all that off base- yet still, I am
    MORTIFIED!
