This story is really crazy. I think it says something about the journalists in this country (particularly in Chicago) that a UK publication (The Guardian) broke the story... especially considering this place was “an open secret among attorneys that regularly make police station visits...”

    A fine point. An article I read stated that the "facility" was part of the "war on terror". But it opened during the 1990s, long before 9/11 became an excuse for every manner of unlawful act perpetrated under the color of law.

    I wonder if one day Chicagoans will storm this prison the way the French stormed the Bastille?

    Either cops rein themselves and start paying attention to the Constitution and what it says they can't do instead of what they can get away with, or...

    Indeed! Hypocrisy is a good word. But remember, this Chicago site was up and running during Bush as well.

    The same Guardian that broke Wikileaks and Snowden.

    I'll bet they find something similar in NYC and LA.

    It is interesting that they, The Gestspo, have chosen a city with a large black population to initiate these Nazi-like tactics. Is it because they believe the lily-white communities would easily submit or would fight back?

    Yeah - the least surprising thing about this story was that it is in Chicago.

    I saw this the other day. I wasn't surprised it was in Chicago. Perhaps instead of closing Gitmo we should close this "facility". Then again maybe this is where Obama wants to send the remaining detainees.
