New wing at Gitmo: Reserve NOW for low, low pre-construction prices!

A subsidiary of Halliburton [KBR], the oil services group once led by the US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, has won a $30m (£16m) contract to help build a new permanent prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

americablog has some questions... (thanks to chris in paris...)

So does this mean that Bush has no clue about what is happening with Gitmo [or] did he just assume once again that the American public is stupid? ... Funny that I have not yet seen this story in the US MSM but why would we assume they would get the news first on such a story?
