In this article, it talks about how one of the uses for these camps could be as quarantine facilitlies in the event of pandemic bird flu.
"“It seems more logical to see this contract as something related to (Hurricane) Katrina. We have to have relocation centers for people which are safe and can provide basic services to people for longer periods of time,” he said, adding that another potential “emergency“ is a bird flu outbreak that could spur a mass quarantine of Americans."

Given crowded conditions that would probably exist in such a camp, if you get stuck there because of bird flu it would probably be a death camp - everyone who goes there dies.
Since Bush is so busy consolidating absolute power - taking over the national guard, signing contracts for these facilities, accusing everyone who doesn't scream "Heil, Bush" and follow in lockstep of being a terrorist, etc. - what kind of environment could we expect if we did have a pandemic emergency with Bush in charge?
I can't see him handling the situation well. I CAN envision him using it as an opportunity to seize permanent power. What do you think Bush would do in a serious national emergency like severe pandemic flu where lots of Americans are dying?
