A new GAO study found that there are 104 locations in the US that could potentially house Guantanamo detainees. Ackerman reads through it:
[T]he study points to the inherent physical similarities between Guantanamo and federal prisons. Camp Six, for instance, the newest detention center and the one holding some two-thirds of the remaining Gitmo population, is "designed after the layout of a U.S. county jail, and it consists of eight indoor climate-controlled, two-story housing units that each contain 22 individual cells and one large common area." Nor is Guantanamo a hub for intelligence anymore: Since the facility hasn’t admitted a new detainee since 2006, whatever residual intelligence operations happen at Guantanamo are to "help ensure the safety and security of the detention facilities and personnel.
