when it happened, watching the Senate working on Budget amendments. A republican put in an amendment for around $75 million to build a permanent prison in Gitmo. Senator Robert Byrd was the only one who got up and spoke against that prison. I remember being aghast that the other Dem Senators voted for this permanent prison amendment.
So I am not surprised that construction of this prison is underway. Why didn't that reporter do some research and find out where that money came from to build this new prison? That shouldn't be too hard. If I knew it, a whole hell of a lot of other people should, too. No wonder we are all in the dark.
