Denver Defends "Gitmo On The Platte" For Mass Arrests During DNC Convention

City Defends 'Secret Jail' Built For The DNC

DENVER - Activist groups say the converted warehouse poses a threat to civil liberties. The city maintains the facility is needed in case of mass arrests during the Democratic National Convention.

The makeshift holding center, dubbed "Gitmo on the Platte" by activists, is located on city-owned property near Steele Street and 38th Avenue. Newly-installed security cameras guard the exterior, chain-link fences and barbed wire form cells inside.

So, the Libs wish to free all the enemy combatants in Gitmo, but want to jail all the protesters at the upcoming convention. Funny that.
