Rawstory Exclusive: Documents Show New Secretive Prison Program
Isolating Muslim, Middle Eastern Prisoners.......

Documents show new secretive US prison program isolating Muslim, Middle Eastern prisoners Jennifer Van Bergen

Program in apparent violation of federal law

The US Department of Justice has implemented a secretive new prison program segregating "high-security-risk" Muslim and Middle Eastern prisoners, tightly restricting their communications with the outside world in apparent violation of federal law, according to documents obtained by RAW STORY.

Quietly implemented in December, the special "Communications Management Unit" (CMU) at a federal penitentiary in Indiana targeting Muslim and Middle-Eastern inmates was not implemented through the process required by federal law, which stipulates the public be notified of any new changes to prison programs and be given opportunity to voice objection. Instead, the program appears to have been ordered and implemented by a senior official at the Department of Justice.

2. "Communications Management Unit" (CMU) -- how very Bushlike
Sounds like Frank Luntz has been working at more than a book tour.

3. It used to be called a Dungeon
Just like torture is now called Human Resources Evaluation.

I read a cable to that effect. it said not to use the word torture but use Human Resources Evaluation instead. Official Policy.

9. Obama should have something loud and furious to say about this!
He'd better watch out as bush* will have him in one of those prisons. Good thing he's well known or that is exactly where he'd be.

I wonder if he's getting the prison ready for all those Iraqi immigrants just in case they show any signs of activism?
