Virtual Detention
Yeah, so I should be doing some work right about now, but I'm going through the interview article I linked as an update in the last post and playing with Google Earth. I love Google Earth. I'm in Cuba at GTMO and looking at the detention facilities.
In the interview the psychiatric nurse says he can't describe the location of the detention facilities but mentions that he was on a winding road coming from the docks as he approached them. GTMO isn't really that big as you may imagine, so following one of the available roads across the mountains I came to the facilities, which are on the beach. Guantanamo Bay is on the southeast end of Cuba.
As of the time the interviewee left the island in May the Camp 6 maximum-security area was under construction. It now appears to be completed, as it would have to be, to house our newest muy peligroso guests. I'm thinking it's the asterisk or star shaped facility within the pentagon-looking wall to the east of the earlier facilities. Looks pretty hardcore. These guys ain't going anywhere for a while.
If you want to experience the same creepy feeling that I am, go to 19º54'08.40" N by 75º06'05.72" W, which should put you smack dab in the middle of the 'Wire.' Have fun.
