This is not to say that our government is magical Christmas land of glitter and unicorns. But this whole 800+ camp myth is just plain stupid.

You listen to Glenn Beck? Why?
I haven't proposed 800 camps, I just propose numerous facilities exist. You can interpret how the rules and regs are to be used all you want, but I've seen martial law overseas and it's a whole new ballgame.

It has apparently crossed Daniel Ellsberg's and other folks mind:
On January 24th it was announced [1] that a subsidiary of Halliburton KBR was awarded a $385 million contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention centers in the U.S. These centers might be used for immigration, or for disaster relief, or vaguely “... to support the rapid development of new programs.”...
..."Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters," says Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst who in 1971 released the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. military’s account of its activities in Vietnam. "They’ve already done this on a smaller scale, with the ‘special registration’ detentions of immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo."

DETROIT - A member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission said Friday that he could foresee a scenario in which the public would demand internment camps for Arab Americans if Arab terrorists strike again in this country.
If there's a future terrorist attack in America ''and they come from the same ethnic group that attacked the World Trade Center, you can forget about civil rights,'' commission member Peter Kirsanow said.

Last Monday the Justice Department announced that it would use criminal penalties against immigrants and foreign visitors who failed to notify the government of a change of address within ten days.
On July 10, agents from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the FBI began conducting sweeps in shopping malls around the country targeting Pakistanis working in jewelry kiosks. Raids took place in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Dallas and at least one location in Connecticut.
Although no criminal charges have been filed, some of those caught up in the raids are being held for immigration violations, and about 60 people have been questioned. The government’s ostensible reason for the sweeps is to locate people sending money to Pakistan “to fund terror operations.” Since most immigrants in the US send money back home to their families, the government policy puts virtually all Pakistanis living in the US under suspicion of funding terrorism.

I find it hard to believe but the following idiot wrote a book in favor of it: In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror

The FEMA camps are designed to isolate all malcontents and dissidents that oppose the Fascist Corporatracracy, be they Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or Jew.
Reeducation camps with the appropriate drugs and psychological manipulation. aka.. torture
