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.

I’d like to knock some balls around on the field too!...of politicians and military personnel who approved this crappola!
I have a dumb question: Why in God’s name would a stinking soccer field cost three-quarters of a million dollars?! Honestly.....
Union job probably...
Lights, diamond vision screens, scoreboard, seating, luxury boxes.

LOL In this world that makes absolutely no sense any more, that would not surprise me in the slightest.
Perhaps it can be used to execute the detainees
Two words.
Federal Project.
Scouts, visiting teams, rankings.....
It’s ALWAYS ok when you’re a Democrat.
How about a muslim Stallone lookalike for the set of the new movie “{Jihad} Victory”....
Sounds like a great place for a vacation.
I am surprised that Obama hasn’t flown down there to be with his pals. Maybe the Wookie could take the kids down for some fun in the sun.
Dumbass liberals will never give up on feeling guilty about putting anyone in prison!....They have to give them “stuff” of course at taxpayer expense. Even if they are radical Muslim extremists who would kill us all in a New York minute!
Perhaps to celebrate the 4th of July at GITMO we should have a huge pork BBQ with the fires lit with Korans.
The Feds absolutely love the Muzzies.
for that kind of money it has to be more than a grass field with two goal posts. What else does it have??

The US Gov’t is the most sharia-compliant organization in the world. It does more to promote deference to Islam and compliance with Muslim sensibilities than Osama Bin Laden ever hoped to achieve.
What else does it have you ask??....
Korans in every Porta Potty
That is an excellent point. Bin Ladin succeeded beyond his wildest dreams at making the US Gov’t bend over for terrorism.
