Feb. 28, 2012: A new soccer field for detainees at Camp 6 in Guantanamo Bay
At a time of record deficits, a new soccer field for detainees at Camp 6 in Guantanamo Bay is just getting the finishing touches -- at a cost of $750,000 to taxpayers.
The project was the highlight of a tour Tuesday of the detention camp for reporters at the facility covering the arraignment in a military court of Majid Khan, a former Baltimore resident and the the only legal U.S. resident on trial at Guantanamo.
The project began in April 2011 and is due to finish this spring. The detainees will now have three recreation facilities at Camp 6, which is home to "highly compliant" detainees who live in a communal setting........................>>>>............................>>>>............Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....field/#ixzz1nsQeo1GX

This is par for the course. No surprise to me. They probably have dinner served on gold plated chargers, with solid gold china.

Cable TV, painting classes, DVDs and a brand-new soccer pitch: Gitmo detainees treated to pricey improvements costing tax-payers $800,000 PER prisoner annually By MEGHAN KENEALLY PUBLISHED: 01:07 EST, 8 June 2012 | UPDATED: 01:07 EST, 8 June 2012
Prisoners at Guantanemo Bay prison are being treated to cable television, a new sports center, painting 'life enrichment' classes, and extensive library with a wide selection of DVDs, newspapers, and best-selling books like Harry Potter in a number of languages. Rather than closing the controversial detention center for terrorist, as he said he would on his first day in office, President Obama approved millions of dollars in improvements to the facility. All told, the prison costs $140million per year to operate, paid through U.S. taxes. And considering that there are only 169 men being held at 'Gitmo', they each run up a bill of about $800,000 per year........................>>>>..................>>>>................Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new.....y.html#ixzz1xIgREkwz
