What was the purpose of Camp Six at Gitmo?

[ColbertWatcher]

After the revelation that the GOP can't find their asses with both hands and a map, I'd like to know what purpose Camp Six served?

Anyone know?

Solitary Confinement at Guantanamo Bay

There are three camps at Guantánamo where conditions qualify as solitary confinement or isolation: Camps 5, 6 and Echo. The military maintains that Camps 5 and 6 are intended for "non-compliant" prisoners, but the facts prove otherwise. Indeed, a number of men slated for release are held in these conditions, including some who languish because they are unable to be safely transferred.

The military refuses to acknowledge that there is solitary confinement in Guantánamo at all. Instead, they speak in euphemisms of greater "privacy" 4 and "single-occupancy cells." 5 The conditions, however, speak for themselves:


In Camp 6, each detainee is confined to a small, windowless steel cell with no access to natural light or air. In Camp 5, a frosted window provides minimal access to natural light, but no view outside. Fluorescent lights are on 24 hours a day, limiting sleep.

2. The Truthiness Encyclopeada is curiously silent on the topic. And that can only mean ONE thing.

That LEGIONS of Colbert Heroes have been on guard in this nation's defense. Quietly stymie-ing the Evil Lib'rul Commie Pinko Journalists and Namby-Pamby Organizations like the Red Cross who try to infiltrate our brave, necessary torture facilties.

Why, I would suspect that no less than THREE terrorist journalists and/or members of their families have been silenced, Ninja-style in the night using piano wire, by our brave Legion of Colbert Heroes, who's patriotic actions must go unrecognized by a slumbering public...

A Patriot's Salute to the Legion of Colbert Heroes!

Thank you.

3. For all we know it could be the motor pool

Not one person will respond to this thread that knows anything at all about the layout of that military base nor what the designation of any of its areas means. For our purposes it only has one area of interest, that is where the detainees are being kept illegally. Just think of all the rest of it as infrastructure. By the way, just why do you think we hold on to that little chunk of South-America-facing real estate? Could it be the next best well placed base for electronic spying on South America after the NSA facility in south Dade County (just south of Homestead on Card Sound Road) was closed down years ago?

The know-nothings who claim that we are unable today to capture and save all electronic communications just because of the sheer volume to be saved might just want to look into what that facility was. They will stop with the 'impossible' horseshit pretty quick once they get an answer to that one.

5. "think of all the rest of it as infrastructure" That's why I was trying to concentrate ...

... on the detention facilities and not the military base (maybe I could have worded it better).

What I don't understand is why the previous administration was able to spy on every American, but not able to keep track of five million emails and fewer than 300 detainees?

6. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever. I know nothing of the layout of military bases in general,

or of the base at Guantanamo in particular.
