Yeah, I knew the results earlier were just too good to be true, where you had between 80-90% against it. I expect that (near) 40 % who're for it to increase .

No, I have better idea. After the next terrorist attack(s) take(s) place, let's make all American muslims carry special identification. Wait, that's a little too politically correct. Let's strip these f***ing sand******s of their citizenship, including the ones who were born here. Hold on, that's being "soft" on terrorism. Just toss all those sand******s in concentratin camps and stuff them gas chambers. Problem solved .

Halliburton Concentration Camps

Homeland Security To Build Detention Camps In The United States

Submitted by rob on Wed, 2006-01-25 04:55
By Business Editors
(c) 2006 Business Wire

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2006--KBR announced today that the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) component has awarded KBR an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contingency contract to support ICE facilities in the event of an emergency. KBR is the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton (NYSE:HAL).

With a maximum total value of $385 million over a five-year term, consisting of a one-year based period and four one-year options, the competitively awarded contract will be executed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. KBR held the previous ICE contract from 2000 through 2005.

"We are especially gratified to be awarded this contract because it builds on our extremely strong track record in the arena of emergency operations support," said Bruce Stanski, executive vice president, KBR Government and Infrastructure. "We look forward to continuing the good work we have been doing to support our customer whenever and wherever we are needed."

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. 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.

The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other U.S. Government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster. In the event of a natural disaster, the contractor could be tasked with providing housing for ICE personnel performing law enforcement functions in support of relief efforts.

ICE is one of three agencies that make up the Border and Transportation Security (BTS) Directorate of the DHS. The mission of the BTS Directorate is to secure the nation's air, land and sea borders. ICE, the largest investigative arm of the DHS, is responsible for identifying and shutting down vulnerabilities in the nation's border, economic, transportation and infrastructure security.

KBR is a global engineering, construction, technology and services company. Whether designing an LNG facility, serving as a defense industry contractor, or providing small capital construction, KBR delivers world-class service and performance. KBR employs more than 60,000 people in 43 countries around the world.

Halliburton, founded in 1919, is one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the petroleum and energy industries. The company serves its customers with a broad range of products and services through its Energy Services Group and KBR. Visit the company's World Wide Web site at http://www.halliburton.com.

Halliburton Subsidiary Gets Contract to Add Temporary Immigration Detention Centers
By RACHEL L. SWARNS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 — The Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract worth up to $385 million for building temporary immigration detention centers to Kellogg Brown & Root, the Halliburton subsidiary that has been criticized for overcharging the Pentagon for its work in Iraq.

KBR would build the centers for the Homeland Security Department for an unexpected influx of immigrants, to house people in the event of a natural disaster or for new programs that require additional detention space, company executives said. KBR, which announced the contract last month, had a similar contract with immigration agencies from 2000 to last year.

The contract with the Corps of Engineers runs one year, with four optional one-year extensions. Officials of the corps said that they had solicited bids and that KBR was the lone responder.

A spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Jamie Zuieback, said KBR would build the centers only in an emergency like the one when thousands of Cubans floated on rafts to the United States. She emphasized that the centers might never be built if such an emergency did not arise.

"It's the type of contract that could be used in some kind of mass migration," Ms. Zuieback said.

A spokesman for the corps, Clayton Church, said that the centers could be at unused military sites or temporary structures and that each one would hold up to 5,000 people.

"When there's a large influx of people into the United States, how are we going to feed, house and protect them?" Mr. Church asked. "That's why these kinds of contracts are there."

Mr. Church said that KBR did not end up creating immigration centers under its previous contract, but that it did build temporary shelters for Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

Federal auditors rebuked the company for unsubstantiated billing in its Iraq reconstruction contracts, and it has been criticized because of accusations that Halliburton, led by Dick Cheney before he became vice president, was aided by connections in obtaining contracts. Halliburton executives denied that they charged excessively for the work in Iraq.

Mr. Church said concerns about the Iraq contracts did not affect the awarding of the new contract.

Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, who has monitored the company, called the contract worrisome.

"With Halliburton's ever expanding track record of overcharging, it's hard to believe that the administration has decided to entrust Halliburton with even more taxpayer dollars," Mr. Waxman said. "With each new contract, the need for real oversight grows."

In recent months, the Homeland Security Department has promised to increase bed space in its detention centers to hold thousands of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. In the first quarter of the 2006 fiscal year, nearly 60 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended from countries other than Mexico were released on their own recognizance.

Domestic security officials have promised to end the releases by increasing the number of detention beds. Last week, domestic security officials announced that they would expand detaining and swiftly deporting illegal immigrants to include those seized near the Canadian border.

Advocates for immigrants said they feared that the new contract was another indication that the government planned to expand the detention of illegal immigrants, including those seeking asylum.

"It's pretty obvious that the intent of the government is to detain more and more people and to expedite their removal," said Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center in Miami.

Ms. Zuieback said the KBR contract was not intended for that.

"It's not part of any day-to-day enforcement," she said.

She added that she could not provide additional information about the company's statement that the contract was also meant to support the rapid development of new programs.

Halliburton executives, who announced the contract last week, said they were pleased.

"We are especially gratified to be awarded this contract," an executive vice president, Bruce Stanski, said in a statement, "because it builds on our extremely strong track record in the arena of emergency management support."

Good luck trying to point a particular region because extremist Islam is prevalent all over the world where they are Muslim population.

I am a bit disappointed that a lot of you find it ok to alienate and divide American people.

I'm all for intelligence agencies cracking down on terrorist cells by using legal means to gather intelligence.

I am against random picking on minorities because they are perceived to be possible troublemakers.
Most of Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism and they just want to live their lives. Heck, most of them deplore what the terrorists and fundamentalists are doing in the name of Islam and giving Islam a bad name.

It is very easy to fall into fear, esp people that you don't know. Some of you had bad experience with some bad Muslims and that is also affecting your opinion.

My understanding of America is that it is based on principle that individual rights should not be trampled on in the name of for the good of the society.

Or else events like deportation of internment of Japanese Americans (and Japanese Canadians too) become acceptable.
Are we going to segregate Muslim into specific designated spots so that it'll be easier to keep an eye on them?

Policies like racial profiling will only cause more resentment and instead of promoting understanding and cooperation between all groups in the society, it will only promote fear, misunderstanding, ignorance and eventual hatred. How would you feel if you are singled out and harassed constantly? Would you feel wanted by America and be part of the society?

This racial profiling nonsense will only increase more American Muslims becoming terrorists and extremists.


19 of the 9/11 hi-jackers were from saudi arabia. It's not that hard. Look are the which countries of origin of terrorists who have hit us are from. I can name a few off, SAUDI ARABIA, EGYPT, MOROCCO, SYRIA, IRAN, PAKISTAN...

The fact that concentration camps are being built for an anticipated calamity in United States is true. I've seen them in documentaries, leaked government documents and congressional hearings, media articles, previous history (Japs in WW2 in camps on West Coast). Oh well, what can be done anyway? Change religion, perhaps?

Most terrorist are Western, or Western funded/created, a fact that alot of pussies here love to ignore, even though it's on the public record now. They're called special ops, CIA, MI5, MI6, Mossad to name a few. But most people are too fucking ignorant, stupid, and brainwashed, so it's doesn't suprise me to hear something like that. And the worst acts of terrorism are carried out by states, not fanatical/crazy individuals originating from the "third world," not that I like using that term eigther BTW. Which is why it's pretty disgusting to hear people suggest profiling certain ethinic/religious/ideologica groups or bomb other countries. It's pathetic.

This is a moderate tangent, but one of the old camps for the Japanese in Puyallup, Washington, U.S., got turned into a giant fair ground (I used to go as a kid). That's sick, isn't it. I can see the Japs going, "hey, that's where grampa got stripped of his property. Yay now there's a little blonde girl with pigtails riding the pony!" And back on track, as much as I fucking hate gay-bashing Muslims (note I didn't say Muslims in general), building camps for them sounds really unwarranted.
