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


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


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


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


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


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