The detention camps are not being built. A contract to cover possible camps is being let. Really need to read federal contract releases before making statements.
Please state what trials have the 4th amendment protection been denied.

American Prison Camps Are on the Way
By Marjorie Cohn, AlterNet. Posted October 9, 2006.
"Kellogg Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary, is constructing a huge facility at an undisclosed location to hold tens of thousands of Bush's "unlawful enemy combatants." Americans are certain to be among them.
The Military Commissions Act of 2006 governing the treatment of detainees is the culmination of relentless fear-mongering by the Bush administration since the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Because the bill was adopted with lightning speed, barely anyone noticed that it empowers Bush to declare not just aliens, but also U.S. citizens, "unlawful enemy combatants."

Please state whereabouts of such camps. This is an easily verifiable claim, if true.
No, I am used to government bureaucracy and seperating the truth from BS.
Which makes such claims about camps set off my BS detector.
