US plans death camp
'THE US has floated plans to turn Guantanamo Bay into a death camp, with its own death row and execution chamber. Prisoners would be tried, convicted and executed without leaving its boundaries, without a jury and without right of appeal... it has horrified human rights groups and lawyers representing detainees.'

This is the real, hard face of neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism, and one wonders for how long many people will maintain illusions about America's commitment to 'democracy'.
