[Khaleej Times] The Black Hole of CMU

Over all, the Communications Management Unit (CMU) has the appearance of the first step in the Israelizing the US prison system just as US legal system, military codes, and foreign policy were Israelized during the Bush administration through the efforts of numerous Neocons moving from think tanks into the federal bureaucracy.

The Israeli incarceration system also has a system of special prisons, in which innocent Palestinians are held without even the fiction of a conviction or guilty plea in order to transform prisoners into collaborators via a combination of physical and psychological pressure.

Had McCain won the 2000 Presidential election, the CMUs might have moved on to the next step, and the continued presence of Zionist moles or subversives in the Obama administration suggests the process may yet continue. The next level of oppression has already been created in the Special Management Unit (SMU): Chapman: Prison Conditions Oppressive.

Prisoners of a Special Kind
Karin Friedemann (Letter From America)

Not much is known about the new federal prisons that house primarily Muslims and political activists, that are called Communications Management Units (CMUs), except that they are located in Terre Haute, Indiana and Marion, Illinois.

Although the US government refuses to disclose the list of prisoners to the public, inmates include Enaam Arnaout, founder of Islamic charity Benevolence International Foundation, Dr. Rafil Dhafir, physician and founder of Iraqi charity Help the Needy, Ghassan Elashi, founder of Holy Land Foundation and original incorporator of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), Randall Royer, Muslim civil rights activist, Yassin Aref, Imam and Kurdish refugee, Sabri Benkahla, an American who was abducted the day before his wedding while studying in Saudi Arabia, and John Walker Lindh, an American convert to Islam who was captured in Afghanistan, plus some non-Muslim political activists. Most of these prisoners were falsely accused of terrorist offenses and then imprisoned for lesser charges but given sentences meant for serious terrorism-related crimes.
