TR>JB>DENVER - Activist groups say the converted warehouse poses a
TR>JB>threat to civil liberties. The city maintains the facility is
TR>JB>needed in case of mass arrests during the Democratic National
TR>JB>Convention.


TR>JB>"The makeshift holding center, dubbed "Gitmo on the
Platte" by
TR>JB>activists, is located on city-owned property near Steele Street
TR>JB>and 38th Avenue. Newly-installed security cameras guard the
TR>JB>exterior, chain-link fences and barbed wire form cells inside.


TR>JB>"We feel the city should be ashamed of this secret prison they've
TR>JB>set up," said Re-create '68 organizer Glenn Spagnuolo.


TR>JB>Spagnuolo and other activists gathered outside the formerly-secret
TR>JB>facility on Friday to protest the city's plan to use it as a
TR>JB>processing center for all those arrested outside the DNC.


TR>What would be really funny is if, after all the taxpayer money spent
TR>to pay for this beefed up security (last I heard it ran into the
TR>millions of dollars), very few people are actually arrested in
TR>connection with the democrat's convention.

Or equally funny is seeing a few of these idiots with knots on their 
heads from police clubs.  I hope they arrest thousands and it is on all 
the news channels for 5 days straight.  The question is what will the 
candidates and the DNC do then ?


TR>I'm wondering why the candidate's campaign funds  (either party)
TR>shouldn't be made to pay the costs of the security, not the taxpayer.

Indeed.
