Secret prison in Illinois and Indiana for jailed Muslims-2/2

"Little Guantanamo" - Secretive "CMU" Prisons Designed to Restrict Communication of Jailed Muslims and Activists with Outside World

With little public scrutiny, the Bush administration opened two secretive prisons in Indiana and Illinois known as Communication Management Units, or CMUs, that are designed to severely restrict prisoner communication with family members, the media and the outside world. Dozens of Muslim men are still being held at the CMUs, as well as other prisoners, including environmental and animal rights activists. We speak with attorneys for two men being held there, as well as a reporter covering the story. [includes rush transcript]

If this is true how can Obama complain about Iran and China? Obama should clean his own house first.

would be great if he did. But I would bet that the government would just open a more secretive prison and move everyone there, out of the spotlight.

So what was the problem with little gitmo? The prison sounds like a great place for inmates. I am very comfortable now thinking criminals might actually have it bad. I don't want to pay for their comfort. It is supposed to be a punishment. I am glad the defense act was passed. Give these ACLUers something to keep them occupied for a while.
