GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - Somewhere amid the cactus-studded hills on this sprawling Navy base, separate from the cells where hundreds of men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Taliban have been locked up for years, is a place even more closely guarded - a jailhouse so protected that its very location is top secret.

For the first time, the top commander of detention operations at Guantanamo has confirmed the existence of the mysterious Camp 7. In an interview with The Associated Press, Rear Adm. Mark Buzby also provided a few details about the maximum-security lockup.

Guantanamo commanders said Camp 7 is for key alleged al-Qaida members, who must be kept apart from other prisoners to prevent them from retaliating against long-term detainees who have talked to interrogators. They also want the location kept secret for fear of terrorist attack.

1. No need for any concern...
I'm sure this is the building where they cook up that delicious orange chicken and
rice that they serve to those lucky bastards who live like Club Med vacationers.

Nothing to see here...move along.

Good thing Obama has pledged to close down this shameless disgrace.

4. Because "Al-Qaeda" reports to us
think of this like the waterboarding thing.

"The united states doesn't torture"
"We use 'enhanced techniques'"
"We might have waterboarded some people"
"We did waterboard some people"


Next week it will be:

"We Waterboarded lots of people all over!"

Expect them to admit that none of these people are Al-Qaeda at some point.
