[DX-CHAT] Gitmo
There's some discussion in the news about Gitmo Bay: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/06/21/guantanamo/index.html It's hard to tell if they are talking about just closing the detention center or closing the whole base. Hopefully the base will remain. 73, Zack W9SZ Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

The detention center is a new addition to the Guantanamo basecreated for the Gulf War detainees. The main base at Gtmo has a mission of its own..a Navy squadron, Marines and other support personnel. Even if they tore down the detention center it would not affect the original base. 73 Norm K1AA - Original Message - From: Zack Widup [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 12:32 PM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Gitmo There's some discussion in the news about Gitmo Bay: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/06/21/guantanamo/index.html It's hard to tell if they are talking about just closing the detention center or closing the whole base.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Gitmo
I wonder if the news media realizes the difference? But I think the closure only affects the detention center; I can't see the military abandoning Guantanamo Bay letting control revert back to Cuba anytime soon! 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Zack Widup Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 12:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] Gitmo There's some discussion in the news about Gitmo Bay: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/06/21/guantanamo/index.html It's hard to tell if they are talking about just closing the detention center or closing the whole base.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Gitmo
Keep the volume down on the subject gang, please. If you wish to discuss the international political ramifications of whether or not Guantanamo Bay (the detention center, the base, and/or both), that's you business, but this is not the place for it. I believe the intent of the original post wondered about the base simply because if the entire installation is closed, obviously the territory reverts to Cuba and the DXCC entity disappears. Getting beyond that into world politics regarding the detention center and all ramifications thereof -- belong somewhere else, not here. Thank you for your understanding. 73, ron w3wn administrator, dx chat Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.orgattachment: winmail.dat
RE: [DX-CHAT] Gitmo
Rag, that is doubtful. There are those for whom hating the US is a hobby rather than a matter of principal. Radical Islam will have to be in control of western Europe before they figure it out, and then it will be too late. Sad. As has been said before - those who fail to learn from history will be condemned to repeat it. Those who refuse to actively oppose Radical Islam are just like the collaborators and the rest who failed to speak out against Nazism and the final solution in the 1940's. If the US had not stepped forward when it did, the National Socialist domination of continental Europe would have extended from the Urals to the Atlantic and the Arctic to the Cape of Good Hope. 73, ...
