US Govt Building Detention Centers - Creepy!

The federal government has awarded a $385 million contract for the construction of "temporary detention facilities." These will be used in the event of an "immigration emergency." The contract was awarded to Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), a subsidiary of Haliburton (military contractor with record profits and friends in the Vice Presidential Palace).

This hasn't been widely communicated, either to the press, or apparently to Congress. That's why it's creepy, considering the use of "detention" camps built by Germany in WWII.

They say it's for use for an "immigration emergency". But maybe it could be used to detain anyone committing or suspected of committing "Treason". And maybe just before mid term elections.... but hey, I'm starting to scare myself. It could never happen here...
