Reports about what life is like inside the military prison for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay are not uncommon. But very little is reported about two secretive units for convicted terrorists and other inmates who get 24-hour surveillance, right here in the U.S.
Population Inside The CMUs
Learn more about the prisoners NPR identified, including their cases and release dates.
For the first time, an NPR investigation has identified 86 of the more than 100 men who have lived in the special units that some people are calling "Guantanamo North." The Communications Management Units in Terre Haute, Ind., and Marion, Ill., are mostly filled with Muslims. About two-thirds of the inmates identified by NPR are U.S. citizens.
Civil rights groups have filed lawsuits that accuse the U.S. facilities of some of the same due process complaints raised by people at the island prison.

CHARITY NAVIGATOR RATES NON-PROFITS
Before you give to your non-profit. Check it out. For instance, some of the religious and non-profits in Haiti have been there for over thirty years and none of the volunteers have tried to run for public office or try to improve infrastructure.
They ask for money everyday over the airways and get millions of dollars and I have seen nothing they have done but give the kids a couple of bowls of mush everyday. The US has given Haiti over 2 trillion dollars and none of if has helped the local people.
Since there is no government, the non-profits got the money. A professor at Columbia University stated on NPR that none of the money that was raised for Rwanda ever reached the masses. He went to Rwanda and he also went to the organization raising the money and they said that the money went to advertising, and the goal was to make countries aware and hope that they would give.
I think they should all be kicked out and organizations that will make a difference should be there.

WERE THERE ANY IPHONES AT THE GATES SAGA ?
There should have been some iphone's and footage of the Gates/Cambridge incident. Many people would like to see the footage before it ends up in court to make an opinion.
If the disturbance happened outside the home, there could be some footage. I just can't believe that professor Gates brought himself to such a level. To make it so personal and to talk about some one's mother.
People said that their opinion of professor Gates had really lessened. There was a time when there was a special on public television and they couldn't wait to get home to see a Gates documentary.
This is not an isolated incident. This happens everyday in America. The officer might not have known who Gates was. It didn't matter who he was .I have asked people did they know who he was and they said no. I probably would not have known if I were not a genealogist. And I am a public radio and NPR fan.
But now I don't think I can ever look at one of Professor Gates documentaries ever again. I see him in a new light now. He took this event to a low level," playing the dozens ". Those are fighting words when you disrespect some one's mother.
Once I went to Vancouver and I was the only one detained from the plane. They questioned me and asked me why I was there and where I was going to stay. I told them at the Abbotsford Hotel and they said there was no such hotel. I gave them the phone number and they called and verified I was staying there.
That's when they let me go. I filed a complaint when I got back home and they called me at work and said that I shouldn't be upset. But my son and I were the only black ones on the plane. I just wondered how they found out where I worked and called me. I just said I would never go back there again.

DID CNN CANCEL D L HUGHLEY'S SHOW BECAUSE OF MICHAEL STEEL CONTROVERSY ??
I am wondering if D. L. Hughley's show was cancelled by CNN because of the conflict between Steel/ Limbaugh ? If so this is the same thing ABC did to Bill Mahr . I did not look at the show unless I stumbled upon it while surfing.
The show wasn't that bad . Well, another one bites the dust. Arsenio Hall was another casualty. Michael Steel was out of character that night. Maybe he should stick to written scripts.
But he should not have apologized. If what he said was sincere, there was no need for one. The GOP always critique their members, and they hold their feet to the fire. If they don't keep to the accepted speech by the party, their money will be cut off at the next election.
When I heard Eagleburger take back what he had said about Sara Palin on NPR the next day, he lost all cred ability with me. He was probably told he would not be invited to give any lectures and his books would be blacklisted.
