| Saudi Arabia is to build five modern prisons in the kingdom to replace US Guantanamo detention facility, a new report has revealed. Jordanian daily quoted unnamed sources as saying that US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Saudi officials are cooperating to construct the prisons which are to replace Guantanamo and US secret prisons in Europe. Riyadh is to spent about two billion Saudi Rials for the project which can accommodate up to 18000 inmates, they added. Bin laden firm and with the help of German engineers will build the prisons in the Saudi cities of Mecca, Haer, Demmam, and Qasim. The US has been under pressure due to violating individual rights in its detention camps in Europe and Guantanamo Bay. UN human rights investigators have urged the White House to shut down the Guantanamo camp. |
I guess it's a relief to know that Halliburton did not get the contract!

Do you know that it is not illegal, in the state of Texas, to be a Democrat?
I know that sometimes it feels like it is, however, the truth is that the Democratic Party has been growing leaps and bounds over the past few years. It is not necessary for us to remain silent about our progressive views.
Rational Radio, 1360AM is a new 50,000-watt station for the progressives, and those who love them, and quiet frankly, is years past due. (or you can say, and quiet frankly, we need their voices now more than ever.
My name is Jack E. Jett and I will host a fun, quirky and progressive chat show that will begin airing on Rational Radio on September 6, 2008 from 1:00 to 3:00pm. The show will air live every Saturday and Sunday with a repeat at midnight.
I would also like to invite you to our launch party that will take place on Saturday, August 16, 2008 at MARDI GRAS in Dallas, located at 2720 Stemmons Freeway from 1:00 to 5:00pm.
There is no cover so please join us for free entertainment, as well as an awesome opportunity to mingle with like-minded folks. Feel free to bring your own Republican (BYOR), if you so choose.
We are not asking for anything but your voice, which we feel has not been heard enough here in Texas.
Peace,
Jack E. Jett
