Customs `camps' cause for concern
Maybe a lifetime in the news business makes one paranoid. Or maybe it was just a matter of timing.
The story showed up in Tuesday's Press-Telegram, as I was reading "Night," Elie Wiesel's horrifying autobiography of a teenager in Buchenwald and Auschwitz.
Appearing on page A5, the story said the federal government had awarded a $385 million contract for the construction of "temporary detention facilities." These would be used, the story said, in the event of an "immigration emergency."
[The new detention camps will be built by Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), a subsidiary of Halliburton, Vice President Dick Cheney's defense-related corporate giant with fists full of contracts involving the war in Iraq.]
