Saudi Arabia prisons to replace Guantanamo bay


Saudi Arabia is to build five modern prisons in the kingdom to replace US Guantanamo detention facility, a new report has revealed.
Jordanian daily quoted unnamed sources as saying that US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Saudi officials are cooperating to construct the prisons which are to replace Guantanamo and US secret prisons in Europe.

Riyadh is to spent about two billion Saudi Rials for the project which can accommodate up to 18000 inmates, they added.

Bin laden firm and with the help of German engineers will build the prisons in the Saudi cities of Mecca, Haer, Demmam, and Qasim.

The US has been under pressure due to violating individual rights in its detention camps in Europe and Guantanamo Bay.

UN human rights investigators have urged the White House to shut down the Guantanamo camp.

1. And no doubt to be run by Blackwater operatives. Privatization is

working. :sarcasm:

[Taverner]

2. Anyone notice it is Bin Laden Corp building it?

[ensho]

3. remember how they were allowed to fly out of the US after 9/11

nt

[Taverner]

4. You ever get the feeling this whole thing is one big dog and pony show put on by BinLaden and Bush?

The families that is...

[tavalon]

9. Ever?

Often.

[elehhhhna]

7. Yes. I posted this yesterday & got no responses. K&R!

[tavalon]

8. That would be ironic if it wasn't so damn sickening

[eshfemme]

19. ditto. n/t

[barbtries]

13. couldn't miss that

ever wonder why he was never picked up for 911?

[Taverner]

14. The world is a stage, Bush is the director, Bin Laden the Producer

And us, all the extras who are expendable.

[NV Whino]

5. Well, this will really solve the problem, won't it?

"... can accommodate up to 18,000 inmates." Jesus H! And in Mecca, no less.

[redqueen]

6. Figures... Bush, the house of Saud, and the Bin Laden's are thick as thieves.

Which only stands to reason... because they are thieves. Theives is the nicest word you could call them, really.

10. They need to get Gitmo torturees out of US control in case of regime change at home

That way Cheney can still get torture and snuff films to get his rocks off.

[happydreams]

17. Very good catch.

:hi:

[dysfunctional press]

11. the house of saud had better be careful- king george may be having them build their own bastille.

how many of the gitmo detainees are saudi? weren't most of the 9/11 hijackers saudi?
how much sympathy do the prisoners have among the general population of saudi arabia...?
is the house of saud familiar with the history of the french revolution?

[barbtries]

12. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

no, no, no

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. a Pakistani Paper quotes a "Jordanian daily quoted unnamed sources from"

I posted this story too but could never find the Jordanian Daily story or paper
so took it with a grain of salt, but who knows these days.

[happydreams]

16. I I was prez..,

I think I'd move some of those troops out of Iraq and into Saudi Arabia to liberate that country.

[eridani]

18. The only news on this is from Pakistan

Single sources can be right of course, but we still need to keep following this to be sure.

[annm4peace]

20. We HAVE to STOP this.

send this to every local news station and everyone needs to call their Congress people. And tell them you do not want your "tax dollars" to pay for prisons to be build in another country and to pay for tortue. (country of Christians.. what a bunch of bullshit!)

Our group here in Minneapolis, MN. tackle torture at the top, ordered and received 100 orange jumpsuits and will be standing in small park a block from RNC.

:grr: :banghead:

[KharmaTrain]

21. Beam Me Up Scotty...

Let me get this right...it was the presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia that was Bin Laden's justification for the 9/11 attacks...we removed the troops shortly there after (and moved them into Kuwait and then Iraq)...and now we're going back? But then when it comes to draconian, no one does it like the Saudis.

I'm Jewish, there's no way I would be admitted a visa to visit this sandpit...and many who have seen the country and its repressive, medivial society would say the country is already a consentration camp...especially for foreigners and women. I once knew someone who worked there for Aramco and refered to his 2 years there as a "sentence".
