don't want to be considered a non-patriot.

Don't forget the no-bid invisible black helicopter contract they also let to Halliburton. And the one for mind-beams. Don't forget the mind-beams. My understanding is that this contract is for the detention of illegal aliens as part of the end of the Border Patrol's "catch-and-release" program, which has served us so well since Kennedy's Immigration Reform Act of 1965. Of course, a "detention facility" is a "detention facility", and can be used to detain anyone for any reason the government sees fit so to do. I, for one, *welcome* our new statist overlords. Oh. That's right. They're not so new, are they? Cheers, RAH Who, along with Lady-Bird Johnson (former owner of Kellog Brown and Root), is part of the vast right-wing conspiracy to steal our ports, our liberties, and our vital bodily fluids. -- ----------------- R.
