Remeber that old "Twilight Zone" episode about this ordinary-looking American small town, everything seems normal, except that there is this mysterious yellow line on the outskirts that nobody can ever cross? At the end of the story, it turns out that this town is in the middle of the Soviet Union and is used for spy training purposes.
If something like this is what this compound is for, then I'm OK with that. But I doubt it.

I am sure that the "village" is used for spy and terrorism training purposes, but not by our side.
Jeez, they could have a giant anthrax lab in a barn, and we'd never know it.
Can you imagine the German Gestapo and SS operating a giant "village" there in 1942? Boarding, training, and hiding newly arrived stormtroopers, working on their English and "Amercian Operations" skills?
Does a nation this dumb deserve to prevail?

A little off-topic I guess, but I wish some smart TV executive would revive The Twilight Zone. It ran as re-runs when I was a kid and the storylines were always so clever and fascinating. I guess wishing for a smart TV executive might be a tall order these days, though.
