Now tell me that the Bush Administration doesn't have something nasty in store for Americans., This is something right out of Nazi Germany!!

Editor’s Note: A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for “an emergency influx of immigrants” is another step down the Bush administration’s road toward martial law, the writer says.

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.” The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when.

To date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a “contingency contract” and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law.

Yeah, had to figure who'd post this crackpot tabloid piece of go se.

Reminds me of the similiar type of crap we heard about Clinton, right before Y2K. Everything was suppose to go offline, society was to break down, martial law was going to be declared and Clinton was going to suspend the U.S. Constitution. Same nutcase stories, different President.

Would be nice if folk used their spare time and imagination for good,instead of pointless waste of time evil.

Black helicopters will be used to ferry detainees to the camps.
So nobody knows where they've gone.
Obvious.

For the last time, detention camps for ordinary civilians who have been abducted by governmental forces, tortured and denied all access to basic human rights will not be built by the Bush Administration in America.

They will be in Cuba, like your other ones.

Hey now, they also detained a lot of Italians and Germans during WW2 as well. Why is it we only ever recall the Japanese? When the United States Government goes into a quasi-political, economically motivated, knee-jerk reaction they go whole-hog, gorramit!

I'm with SIMONWHO: I don't see the US Government bringing political detainees into huge internment camps on American soil - very bad press. Just keep 'em overseas somewhere, and why would we be taking tens of thousands of them anyway? The Admin will just do what they do so they can keep claiming we don't tortute suspects - send them to some country and let those guys (or spooks) do it.

Now, I don't know if Haliburton really has a contract to build 'detention centers' in the event that they're needed (and I'd like to see some numbers on other 'contingency contracts'), but what I think it sounds like is that they're thinking more along the lines of another Katrina situation where there are tens of thousands of evacuees and no place to put them. It would be easier to have people in a holding area while they get on their feet than to be dealing with credit and hotel vouchers.

Well, that didn't take long. I had hoped to see more personal, real life comments here, instead of the standard political rhetoric.
