Well no one said no permanent prisons, did they?

The US is planning to build a huge new prison at Bagram (Afghanistan) to accommodate between 600 and 1,100 American prisoners. Some of the prisoners at the current facility, where there have been many unresolved accusations of mistreatment and torture, have been held without charge for over five years.

Perhaps this is the "double Guantánamo" that Gov. Romney got so excited about.
