What's this I hear about Haliburton building Gitmo facility
Rush was crowing about how they just keep sticking it to the liberals with this new facility at Gitmo that Haliburton is going to build (cackle, cackle).

Yeah, it's all just a fucking game, isn't it Rush.

Laugh while you can, fatboy.

1. Kellog Root & Brown built the original Gitmo facility, so why not?

4. So what kind of Gitmo facility is it
more detention space? If they are slowly letting these people go, why would we need more space?

We're down to 500 people, from I think a couple of thousand or more (can't remember the highest number)

5. Randi mentioned yesterday that the contracts to build
something like 400 new cells were granted to KBR in 2000 or 2001; well before 9/11, and way before the start of Bush's War.

6. Did they give a reason in 2000 or 2001 as to why
they needed 400 more cells. Or was it already be converted from Clinton's plan to use it as a waystation for those trying to excape Kosovo? War planning even then?

11. I think it was the same reason Jeb gave
for declaring martial law on 9-7-01 <crickets>

It's pretty clear war planning was going on even then, proceeding according to the PNAC plan.
