Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft's Hellish Vision

Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft's announced desire for camps for U.S. citizens he deems to be "enemy combatants" has moved him from merely being a political embarrassment to being a constitutional menace. (cut)

Ashcroft hopes to use his self-made "enemy combatant" stamp for any citizen whom he deems to be part of a wider terrorist conspiracy.

Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps

BERKELEY, Calif.--A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities."

The contract -- announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR -- calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." (cut)

From August 2002:

2. Does anyone remember the militias talking about all this stuff in the 90s?
They connected it all with Clinton, but the more I hear, the more I think this stuff was being leaked-limited hangout?-to crazy fringe groups so that no one would believe it.
