SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - The U.S. military will build a fifth camp at Guantanamo Bay to hold and interrogate detainees from its war against terror, the military said Sunday in another signal its mission here will be a long-term one.
Camp V will make room for 100 more detainees, increasing the capacity at the remote naval base in eastern Cuba to 1,100, Lt. Col. Pamela Hart said.

Since the detention center first opened in January 2002, it has grown from open-air, chain-link cells that some likened to animal cages to trailer-style quarters where detainees have a metal bed, a sink and toilets that flush.

It holds about 660 men from 42 countries detained for alleged links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terror network or the ousted Afghan Taliban regime that sheltered it. They include three youths - ages 13-15 - whom the military says it probably will recommend for release soon.

1. How can they have this camp in cuba?

I don't understand how we can ban tourists from going there and not have relations with Cuba, yet we have a prison camp there? It just doesn't make sense to me.

2. KBR makes another quick million!

Cheney's company has contract to build these camps. They will never stop building. "Free" money for UNKA Dickie!
