Google Alert - haliburton detention centers
Connecting The Dots
E-LIMO-NATION
By Larry Kelley

* * *
The New York Times reports that the Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a $385 million contract to Kellogg, Brown and Root, the subsidiary of our old friends at Haliburton, to build detention centers on American soil "in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the US" or a "natural disaster" or (brace yourself) "new programs that require additional detention space" (gulp).

Federal auditors have rebuked KBR and Haliburton for "unsubstantiated billing" in its Iraq reconstruction contracts. But this is probably not the most serious of the problems.

"It's pretty obvious that the intent of government is to detain more and more people and to expedite their removal," said Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center in Miami.

6. I'm pretty eclectic...
Enfields, a K98 mauser, Mosin Nagants (imo the best value right now), K31s (unbelievably well made), SKS (ru, albanian, yugo)...etc. Got the bug!

7. very nice
I've finished rehab'ing a few Romanian AK's- their pretty tight now. That and I still like my civilian AR. I don't even miss the full auto anymore.
Once you start buying and getting them in shape it's hard to stop.

8. Hard to stop is right! I just ordered a 2A enfield from AIM
and really want to pick up a jungle carbine one of these days. The other I need is a Russian SVT-40... next time I have 700-800$ on hand!

I really like the AKs too. I picked up a WASR for cheap and love it. Now I want to upgrade!
