48. Wow Mather AFB on that list sounds scary, forbiddingly closed off to the
public and all, except for this wee fact: it isn't. In fact, it's gone commercial, business park, housing, recreation: http://www.matherfield.com/general-information/index.html

McClellan's also largely gone to commercial use. http://www.mcclellanpark.com/index.html

Sacramento Army Depot now owned by city and has been turned into business park.

Of course since the web site you link to asserts that "Mental hospitals, closed hospitals & nursing homes, closed military bases, wildlife refuges, state prisons, toxic waste dumps, hotels and other areas all have varying degrees of potential for being a detention camp area" which means they view vitually any place as a potential site, I guess they're not too picky about whether the info they put up is actually accurate or plausible. Merely the assertion is enough to "authoritatively" prove that a facility is a detention camp facility. If it has other uses and activities, it's a "disguise" because the site says so.

And why does this friends of liberty site you link to say it's the "voice of the right?" Did you notice that? Apparently the guy who runs the site was a John Bircher. That's the old far right of the right wing. Big on gov't conspiracies, the threat of "one world gov't" etc. decades ago. It's a RW site (not neocon, but the old RW). Even Faux News isn't right wing enough for them. Check out the tribute to "American Patriot" Helen Chenoweth on their LibertyThink site.
