Seriously, anyone who actually believes this stuff needs to get thicker tin foil for their heads. Something is obviously getting in there and damaging brain cells.
took a while for me to find this, most links to it are dead...

: I wanted to find a source that couldn't be written off/ignored.
http://www.halliburton.com/default/main/halliburton/eng/news/source_files/news.jsp?newsurl=/default/main/halliburton/eng/news/source_files/press_release/2006/kbrnws_012406.htmlof course, the official line is that they're just for "an emergency influx of immigrants", among other relatively benign sounding things. The fact they they exist bothers me.
Actually spending some time reading and not just listening to the propaganda revealed this: "The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs." I'll break that down for ya...
"The contract, which is effective immediately, " -- ok...
"provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities" -- there's your detention centers.
"to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities" -- hrmmm, ICE? begins with an "I", must be immigration something or other... (we'll get back to that...)
"in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S.," -- ahhh, they're only after the immigrants. I'm safe...
"or to support the rapid development of new programs." -- say what?
The press release continues: "The contingency support contract provides for planning and, if required, initiation of specific engineering, construction and logistics support tasks to establish, operate and maintain one or more expansion facilities." -- I'm not sure if that applies to the "new programs" or what, but at least it clarifies that the previous mention of "capabilities" includes building and running "facilities".
Further down a bit, ICE is revealed: "ICE was established in March 2003 as the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security." -- Immigration my you know what. Why Homeland Security if it's an immigration issue? What the heck does their investigative arm have to do with an "emergency influx of immigrants"?
Call me paranoid, but this doesn't smell right to me.
