ENDGAME: Halliburton subsidiary to build Prison Camps in the US
This is almost too incredible to believe. Right under our noses a major contract has been awarded to Kellog Brown & Root to build detention camps on US soil. Are they for immigrants? Are they for "terrorists"? What's going on here? Is the brouhaha over selling American ports to an Arab company just a smokescreen for far shadier deals?
It looks like our country is planning for the worst and wants to make sure it has a system in place to preserve "order" in the face of catastrophe. Could it be that the government really just wants to protect its own interests and the interests of corporate elites?
It's time to start asking questions.

The Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Brown and Root) announced on Jan. 24 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps. Two weeks later, on Feb. 6, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced that the Fiscal Year 2007 federal budget would allocate over $400 million to add 6,700 additional detention beds (an increase of 32 percent over 2006). This $400 million allocation is more than a four-fold increase over the FY 2006 budget, which provided only $90 million for the same purpose.
Both the contract and the budget allocation are in partial fulfillment of an ambitious 10-year Homeland Security strategic plan, code-named ENDGAME, authorized in 2003. According to a 49-page Homeland Security document on the plan, ENDGAME expands "a mission first articulated in the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798." Its goal is the capability to "remove all removable aliens," including "illegal economic migrants, aliens who have committed criminal acts, asylum-seekers (required to be retained by law) or potential terrorists."
