BTW: Why do they need an airstrip? Did the report mention anything about that? I can't recall them saying who is flying in and out of there, do you?

A private airstrip would permit them to covertly fly terrorists on watch lists in and out without detection.

A private airstrip permits terrorist trainees to visit the place without leaving any visible "signature" of their ever being there. No motel records, no gas station or restaurant credit card receipts. Never seen by the local LEOs driving in or out. No proof they were ever there.

The airstrip was already there. It was put in by Synanon way back when, but Synanon couldn't keep a permit to operate it and it hasn't been used as a working airstrip in a long time.

The report had no info regarding current use of the airstrip. I would guess the prior owner, Synanon built it. Maybe someone from that area knows about that. I know that Synanon was like a drug rehab, type employment, cult camp or something that made promotinal products like pens and such with company name on it.
