Camp No

If Gitmo can't be closed, what about "Camp No"?

Within Scott Horton's disturbing tale of the three "suicides" that probably weren't, comes confirmation that America's rotten gulag of ill repute has an Area 51 gulag of its very own, meet "Camp No":


The compound was not visible from the main road, and the access road was chained off. The Guardsman who told Davila about the compound had said, "This place does not exist," and Hickman, who was frequently put in charge of security for all of Camp America, was not briefed about the site. Nevertheless, Davila said, other soldiers-many of whom were required to patrol the outside perimeter of Camp America-had seen the compound, and many speculated about its purpose. One theory was that it was being used by some of the non-uniformed government personnel who frequently showed up in the camps and were widely thought to be CIA agents.

A friend of Hickman's had nicknamed the compound "Camp No," the idea being that anyone who asked if it existed would be told, "No, it doesn't." He and Davila made a point of stopping by whenever they had the chance; once, Hickman said, he heard a "series of screams" from within the compound.

See it here, top left. Please tell me this facility at least, could be closed in less than a year without an epic Congressional meltdown of NIMBY cowardice.  Hopefully we won't have to find out in another revelation that Camp No itself had a secret room or wing where even more inhuman things were going on too horrible for the regular denizens of Camp No.
