Halliburton's former engineering and construction subsidiary has a contingency contract with the Department of Homeland Security to construct detention facilities in the event of a national emergency, according to WND columnist Jerome Corsi.
As Corsi reported last week, President Bush recently signed a little-reported National Security and Homeland Security Directive granting extraordinary powers to the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.
Houston-based KBR was awarded an initial $385 million contract in January 2006 for one year, with four one-year options extended into 2007. KBR held a previous emergency detention contract with ICE from 2000 to 2005.
ICE spokeswoman Jamie Zuieback told Corsi the primary intent of the contract was to build temporary detention facilities that could be used in the event of a mass migration crisis, but she confirmed the facilities could be employed in national emergencies, including natural disasters.
"The idea of the KBR contract is to support the Army Corp of Engineers in case we experienced a sudden mass immigration and we had to respond quickly," she said. "We would need immediate detention facilities in the form of temporary housing that would enable us to determine if the large numbers of illegal immigrants were political or economically motivated, or if they were criminals or terrorists."
Corsi reported last week the May 9 directive signed by Bush concentrates an unprecedented amount of emergency authority in the office of the president, specifying the chief executive would have the authority to direct "National Essential Functions" of all federal state, local, territorial and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations in the event of a national emergency.
The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy or government functions."
The KBR contingency contract appears to give ICE the ability to have detention facilities constructed under the president's direction in response to a national emergency as declared under the new directive.
ICE's Zuieback said she was not familiar with the directive, and at her request, Corsi e-mailed her the link to the White House's posting of the directive.
The White House has not responded to a request for comment on the story about the directive.

Heads in the sand.
Or those who care are tired of the crew called "Those Who Say "Black Helicopter Crowd""
Reams of factual data is deemed, in their eyes, as useless and impertinent data with only one pronouncement of one of their favored phrases such as "Watch out for Black Helicopters" etc.
There is a contingent here on AFF who not only do not believe the things discussed (which is everyones free right) but won't tolerate anyone else holding these opinions above the sound of a faint and unintelligible whisper.
Personally... I weary of the rhetoric and insults.

Actually that crowd is just more weary of the UCs amongst us...the Ultra Conspiracists. The UCs major on minors and the more "wacky" in my opinion.
They delve into UFO conspiracies and how the government is covering up Roswell. They concentrate on why building whatever fell when it was never hit.
It wasn't Islamic fundies flying those planes, they were remote controlled military jets or cruise missiles.
Yet I believe there was a conspiracy invoved in 9/11...yes someone knew about it. Perhaps even the globalists include Osama. It certainly is working in their favor. There really were a bunch of Arab hijackers. Let's not ignore the facts and the more important and larger scheme. I think some UCs can't see the forest for the trees just as much as the people who chant "black helicopters" can't see the forest because they refuse to acknowledge there even is a forest
I read the article. I don't usually get involved in ANY political type discussions, because I usually get pretty hot tempered --so I passed without commenting. It's not that I don't care....Just reading and staying quiet. :)

And... while there are only a very, very few... if any... who are in a UC crowd... one step beyond the realm of discussion that someone is comfortable with and the accusations fly.
It is easier than actual discussion.

This is basically what I was saying too...
It turns out it is best to just stay quiet...
One never knows where today's hot button is and it all gets nasty.

What really drives me nuts is that if you don't go into hysterics, you're labelled as "just doesn't care", e.g., too fluffy-headed to care about "real" issues. Give me a break. For one thing, I read the news every morning before I ever get on the forum. I don't come to the AFF to read about politics...so from that perspective...Nah...I don't really care. Additionally, I feel that the only way to affect change is with my voting power, so discussing politics here doesn't really even appeal to me, most of the time.
...obviously I did care enough to actually read the first post, and then the condescending posts following made me want to trash the whole thread. Not all threads are going to spur discussion. Some just get the wheels to turnin'.

Why do you feel every action our government takes is some kind of negative purpose. I have read many of the conspiracy ideas, and I have read just as many refutation of the same. Why should I believe the worst case scenario of my on government??

We must have one of the greatest countries and greatest governments. There are a lot of people risking everything to come here. I for one am a proud American and am thankful for and proud of our president. Oh yes, I pray for him every day as well as all our government officials. They ain't perfect but neither am I even though I like to think I am sometimes. Being married I soon get that idea squelched.:tissue

What a coincidence that Halliburton just happens to get so much business from the federal gov't and Pres. Bush.
has anyone gotten locked up in one of these detention centers yet?
