Halliburton's Immigrant Detention Centers

It would behoove us all to keep and eagle eye on this.

I mean, can we really have much more of an influx of "illegals" than we have already had?

My question is, where are these new Detention Centers?

I seem to remember that Nixon had paranoid, kooky ideas about "urban relocation centers"; you know, for Hippies, Peaceniks and other dangerous people. LOL

I feel nostalgic for the time when Tim Leary was the most dangerous man in the country. At least, Tim was never in the White House.

Maybe that is not such a good thing after all.

Tim had more brain-power and vision after god knows how many Psilocybin trips than Junior ever did. Tim could have told him that Cocaine was not a very good drug.

Halliburton's Immigrant Detention Centers The Progressive:

"What new programs might those be?

The web was abuzz with speculation after the contract was awarded on January 24. Pacific News Service gave the most detailed analysis.

It connected the new 'immigration emergency' plans with older plans that involved imposing martial law.
Certainly the detention centers raise the specter of WW II Japanese interment camps.

The new facilities could be used for round-ups of Muslim Americans or other American citizens tagged as 'enemy combatants.'

The use of military personnel and military contractors in the event of a Katrina-like disaster, which the Halliburton contract provides for, brings us closer to martial law, whether it is officially declared or not.

It also means record profits for Halliburton, which declared 2005 'the best in our 86-year history.' David Lesar, Halliburton's chairman, president and CEO, declares on the company website, 'For the full year 2005 we set a record for revenue and achieved net income of $2.4 billion with each of our six divisions posting record results.'

Not bad for a company that has been repeatedly cited for inflating charges and wasting taxpayer money in Iraq."
