US may hold SUSPECTS(!!!) 'for life'
(Gulf Daily News, 3 January 2005)
The Bush administration is preparing plans for possible lifetime detention of suspected terrorists, including hundreds whom the government does not have enough evidence to charge in courts. . . . the Defence Department, which holds 500 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, plans to ask the US Congress for $25 million (BD9.45m) to build a 200-bed prison to hold detainees who are unlikely to ever go through a military tribunal for lack of evidence. . . . "Since global war on terror is a long-term effort, it makes sense for us to be looking at solutions for long-term problems," a Pentagon spokesman, was quoted as saying. . . . "This has been evolutionary, but we are at a point in time where we have to say, 'How do you deal with them in the long term?'"

[COMMENT by Lorenzo: If this isn't a slippery slope I don't know what is. With Bush's new fascist Attorney General you can expect to see these lifetime prison camps begin to pop up all over. While it may seem implausible that a native born U.S. citizen will ever be held for life without charges ever being filed, I'm sure the good German citizens in the 1930s didn't think the Holocaust could come about either. Don't forget, Bush's grandfather was Hitler's banker. These guys know how it's done.]
