Got a huge question..FOR DU and MEDIA?and ASHCROFT !
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 11:17 PM by vetwife
What are they doing there to prepare or are they doing anything? Are they just going to let a Category 5 hit Gitmo? Has anyone heard any news agency even ponder this? I mean Where do you put these so called dangerous terrorists if the island is about to be destroyed !?

2. Thanks but do you think we can get some answers....
Will they escape and commit terror according to Bush during the storm or will they all die? What is the government doing to protect these people?

3. Gosh, I'm sure they are all safe and sound........................
inside their prefab shacks. Should be fun trying to keep them under control when the shacks go airborne - betcha they have the prisoners all shackled together en masse so nobody can cut and run.

4. Great Question !!!
Only thing I found Googling Ivan and Guantanamo.

<snip>

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2004 – A tribunal in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has determined a detainee there is not an enemy combatant, and the U.S. government will release the man to his home country soon, the official in charge of the tribunal process said.

Navy Secretary Gordon England, who was appointed implementing authority for the process, briefed reporters on this development today in the Pentagon. He said the detainee in question could be returned home in days or weeks, "as soon as anyone can arrange the transport." But, he warned, the process could be delayed by Hurricane Ivan, a powerful storm on a track across the Caribbean.

5. the storm, according to latest tracks, will not hit GITMO
Guantanamo Bay is on the eastern-most tip of the island. If Ivan tracks where expected, GITMO will receive little if any damage.
