    His account is horrific. The media can not and definitely will not amplify this enough. I believe everyone else should.

      I still believe the original plan was for him to be killed before he could be returned. Too many spotlights on the case prevented that from happening.

        They have already awarded a $250 million contract to build a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo.

        For context Guantanamo currently houses up to about 250 people. The average maximum security prison hold 800-1200. The largest prison, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300. So the new prison in Guantanamo will hold almost 4 times as many as the largest prison, which is already several times larger than average.

        This facility will be on foreign soil (Cuba!), far away from the prying eyes of the media, the courts, lawyers, protesters, family, etc. If they were illegals, they’d be deporting them, so who are they planning on keeping here, and why?

        Also, I’ve been tracking this development since he first signed the executive order for it several months ago, but I’ve never heard a single journalist in any media mention it, or ask any member of the administration about it. Most Americans aren’t aware of this in the slightest, and the media is helping keep it that way.
