Heritage Foundation being converted into domestic Gitmo?
Bad? Brilliant?

You might have other, less plausible, ideas, but to me that's what appears to be going on at the conservative think tank, whose grounds have been obscured by ominous, barbed-wire-topped fencing for the past couple of weeks.

Since the photos below were taken, Heritage's Liberty Bell logo has been removed from the building's entrance and it appears that the forces behind this are now digging some sort of moat.

Given the organization's repeatedly-professed fondness for the prison camp in question, it's no surprise if they're remodeling to better approximate Gitmo (where "detainee procedures exceed the requirements of the U.S. Constitution, U.S. law, and customary international law.")



Update: Added links to bigger photos.

Are you serious?

OK, due to this posting, I will never ever ever ever read this site again. Do you realize how perfectly you now fit in to the stereotypical raving leftist who should be avoided?

Good one! Way to chalk up a victory against your own cause! I hope you had a good laugh and finally got the attention you have always wanted.

Cramer, you're another shining example of irony and satire being totally lost on neo-Cons. Way to not disappoint, Mensa.

It's a joke, schmuck. I wonder what they are doing - probably just some remodeling.

Well said, lighten up Cramer.

If you were to take a look at the photos, aside from the alleged making fun claim, you would notice that this is temporary construction fencing. I'm sure the canvas sheeting is more cosmetic than sinister. Now when the start embedding broken glass in the top of the walls or start putting alligators in the moat, then we've got a serious question.
  
Could you be more petty?

Not a huge shock that CAP thinks national security is a joke.

Come on ....

You have got to be kidding! they didnt block off the front door right! putting a temp fence up means nothing, so if they are remodeling and someone gets a brick dropped on their head, that's ok?

It's a joke, doofus. You conservatives have no freakin' sense of humor.
  
plausible

OK, so its a joke. That doesn't mean it isn't plausible. Stranger things have happened.
