New Gitmo Prison
I guess the .gov is anticipating a few more detentions in the name of the War on Terrorism:
Critics say the $41.8 million request to build a permanent detention facility at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, buried in President Bush’s emergency supplemental-spending bill sidesteps an important debate about the government’s stance of detaining enemy combatants.
It looks like the funds will be used to build a permanents structure (housing 200) since most inmates are in makeshift quarters now.
