There are numerous references throughout the manual talking about complying with Geneva Conventions and humanitarian laws, as well as "repatriation" to their home country. It's quite clear that this manual's context is in reference to a foreign situation, NOT a domestic one.

quote:

---

1-36. Basic US policy underlying the treatment of detainees and other captured or interned personnel during the course of a conflict requires and directs that all personnel be accorded humanitarian care and treatment from the moment of custody until their final release or repatriation. The US personnel are fully and equally bound to observe this policy whether capturing troops, custodial personnel, or anyone else, regardless of the capacity they may be serving. This policy is equally applicable for protecting detained and interned personnel whether they are known to have committed or are suspected of committing a serious offense that could be characterized as a war crime. The punishment of such persons is administered by the due process of law and under legally constituted authority. Inhumane treatment, even if committed under stress of combat and with deep provocation, is a serious and punishable violation under national law, international law, and the UCMJ.

It's clear from the above quote that there are NO references to domestic "concentration camp" operations. In fact, the word repatriation is used, which implies a foreign conflict.

quote:

---

1-40. The 1951 Convention also provides protection of refugees. A refugee has the right to safe asylum; however, international protection comprises more than physical safety. Refugees receive the same rights and help as any other foreigner who is a legal resident, including certain fundamental entitlements of every individual. Refugees have basic civil rights, including freedom of thought and movement and freedom from torture and degrading treatment. Similarly, refugees have economic and social rights. Every adult refugee has the right to work, and no child refugee is deprived of schooling. In certain circumstances, such as large-scale inflows of refugees, asylum states may feel obliged to restrict certain rights, such as freedoms of movement, work, and education. Such gaps should be filled by the international community when possible. When resources are unavailable from the government of the asylum country or other agencies, the UNHCR will assist

Here it talks about refugees. Again, nothing that implies this manual is meant for domestic operations.

I used to be in the National Guard, and we trained for civil emergency operations (ie, anti-mob tactics, etc). Nothing was ever mentioned of detention camps. Nothing was ever mentioned above and beyond the normal arrests for dangerous behavior. Our policy was to turn anyone arrested over to the civil authorities. We were never authorized to hold ANYONE any longer than necessary to turn them over to the police.

Did you read the PATRIOT ACT?

Did you read THE DOMESTIC ENHANCEMENT AND SECURITY ACT OF 2003?

ANY CITIZEN can be accused of being an "Enemy Combatant."

That means Dissenters...Constitutionalists or even Right-wing militiamen.

I realize that. However you're missing my point. Despite what the patriot act says, that FM was NOT written in any context to provide instruction to create internment camps here in the USA. You're resorting to fear-mongering. In fact, it defies logic.

Honestly...I do.

This legislation states otherwise.

After the OKC event:
I called the on-screen number to the fibbies and related every wcnversation with Tim or any of or his associates.

The "SAIC" thanked me for calling, and promised:
"We will cross your name off the list."

They were Tim's handlers and controllers/IMHO

and manipulated events )including crimes committed) to help their prosecution.

totally on topic.

I have seen federal prisons that were completed, yet left vacant,
in several states.

That is only one persons/me.

The network is in place for the rightwing police state that the neo-cons intend to impose on all of us.

Argue with me online now, but, later:
in a concentration camp,
after you find out the hard way;

I am not paranoid -just- well informed.
