US Admiral Confirms Secret Camp at Gitmo

[nhboy]

"GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — Somewhere amid the cactus-studded hills on this sprawling Navy base, separate from the cells where hundreds of men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Taliban have been locked up for years, is a place even more closely guarded — a jailhouse so protected that its very location is top secret.

For the first time, the top commander of detention operations at Guantanamo has confirmed the existence of the mysterious Camp 7. In an interview with The Associated Press, Rear Adm. Mark Buzby also provided a few details about the maximum-security lockup.

Guantanamo commanders said Camp 7 is for key alleged al-Qaida members, who must be kept apart from other prisoners to prevent them from retaliating against long-term detainees who have talked to interrogators. They also want the location kept secret for fear of terrorist attack.

Many operations have been classified since the detention center opened in January 2002 in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. More than four years passed before the military released even the names of detainees held on this 45-square-mile base in southeast Cuba — and it did so only after the AP filed a Freedom of Information Act request."

I wont argue the merits of keeping the Snitches safe from these incredibly dangerous people. I think its funny that a few weeks ago Journalists were making a big deal of this and saying the CIA was hiding them in foreign countries. Sneaking them out and killing them. Now we know. It seems the Red Cross is better at keeping secrets than piss ant lawyers who would try to free these criminal POS prisoners for a few bucks from Al Qaeda.
