Guantánamo Detention Site Is Being Transformed, U.S. Says -NYT

[Rose Siding]

In a few years, Pentagon officials say, the detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, will have undergone a radical transformation.

The sprawling detention site known as Camp Delta, with its watchtowers, double-wide trailers housing rows of steel cells and interrogation rooms will be mostly demolished.
....
Some detainees are already housed in one of the new prisons at Guantánamo known as Camp Five, which has the capacity for 100 detainees. Camp Six, with a capacity of 220, is not yet complete.

Camp Six is modeled after the jail in Lenawee County, Mich., and unlike Camp Five and most of Camp Delta, the prisoners will, for the most part, sleep and eat in a communal setting.

Cmdr. Anne M. W. Reese, the construction chief for the Guantánamo command, said in a recent interview that the new prison would have "more compliance with the Geneva Conventions."

1. Halliburton is getting 30 million to build it.

Special medical bays. I hope these cretins learn how to use truth serum and stop beating the detainees to death.

2. In a few years?

I don't want to need that prison in a few years. I don't want to need it, now, Mr. Rumsfeld. But do you know what I do want? I want to see you behind bars at Leavenworth, for the rest of your natural life. And, for that entire period, I'd like for you to enjoy your choice of the following cellmates:

George W. Bush
Karl Rove
Dick Cheney
Condi Rice
Scooter Libby
Colin Powell
Paul Wolfowitz
Richard Perle
John Negroponte

3. Crap !

My first thought upon seeing "In a few years..." was that it would be expanded to include all of Cuba. Am I getting too nervous and jerky here?

5. Mary Matlin, Karen Hughes

Richard Myers
Geoffry Miller
Donald Rumsfeld
Steven Hadley
Judith Miller
Bob Novak

May they all Rot in Jail forever.
SEND THEM TO THE HAGUE AS WAR CRIMINALS
TRY THEM FOR TREASON
