4. Well, the one that scared me was the actual army site.
Initially I read that and thought keep an eye on it. I remember the wording of the first resolution that they proposed for building those - it gave the SEC of Homeland Security carte blanche authority. Buried in section 101 it may have snuck through. People raised a great stink, but worse things came up.

The fact that Army regs have been written seems like there is some credence to their consideration of using these imigration camps for citizens.

And it was a senator that suggested the whole "fifth column" thing as a way to justify that the pRes could imprison "enemy combatants" or their "sympathisers" and their is a government official being tried for calling the people in the White House the biggest terrorist threat. He was at a Muslim gathering. But it seems like a truthful American observation to me. He didn't tell people to do anything about it except not let others define "Muslim" to them.

I'm not a tinfoil type. It occurred to me those could be photos of regular old prisons. Inmates aren't outside much.

My main problem is every time I think, "Nah, they wouldn't - couldn't do THAT." They do it and worse.
