Montana Wants Gitmo Prisoners, Politicians say NO, End the Madness.
Hardin wants to be new Gitmo; senator says no


BILLINGS - Hardin officials say they want to fill the city's vacant jail with the prisoners now housed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, but Montana's senior U.S. senator says he opposes the idea.
The development authority in Hardin, a rural outpost of 3,400 people that borders the Crow Indian Reservation, built the $27 million, 460-bed jail two years ago. The plan was to run the jail privately and contract with outside jurisdictions for prisoners.

Politicians oppose the idea of prisoners coming to there states, well you guys arrested them and have left them in jail for a undetermined time and don’t even know if they are guilty of jaywalking . How far could a prisoner stray in the middle of Montana.

End the Madness

1. These guys built a PRIVATE for PROFIT prison. I hope Hardin goes bankrupt!!
"The plan was to run the jail privately and contract with outside jurisdictions for prisoners."

No, they cannot have the Guantanamo inmates because then they would be REWARDED for their greed!! Disgusting, wonder who put up the money? Who financed this private prison and who is losing money now?

Let's ask Senator Webb about this. He is working on prison reform. Will that include banning FOR PROFIT prisons?

2. Halliburton Confirms Concentration Camps Already Constructed
Halliburton Confirms Concentration Camps Already Constructed

In 2002 Attorney General John Ashcroft announced his desire to see camps for U.S. citizens deemed to be “enemy combatants.”

Over 800 concentration camps are reported throughout the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive U.S. Prisoners who disagree with the government. The concentration camps are all staffed and manned by full-time guards, however, they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) when Martial Law is implemented in the United States (at the stroke of a Presidential pen and the Attorney General's signature on a warrant).

How close did we come to a complete BushCo Coup? Could this prison be one of the enemy combatants Concentration Camps?
