History of Guantanamo Bay
Hey, I found a three volume intensive history of Guantanamo Bay that should help us construct our maps according to the timeline.

Guantanamo Public Schools - The Better Place To Be
After a forehead slap and a groan, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of information on the general infrastructure of the GTMO military base from none other than Google Maps. As we plotted the locations on the KIP print map, we noticed that there was a high school and an elementary school.
This is their school website.
It's surreal to see what the kids that go to W.T. Sampson Elementary and High School will be having for lunch next month.

Spatialized Indistinction of Omnipresence
Guantanamo is the principle object.
The following is an excerpt from “Zones of Indistinction – Security, Terror, and Bare Life” in Territories 2003 p. 42
“The building should be visible from all over town, preferably built on a small mountain. It should be non-transparent and dark. As the prisoners internalized the gaze of authority, the citizens would internalize the risk of imprisonment. The ban could strike all – again, sovereignty reins in potentia, omnipresent yet not necessarily real or actual. “It is the apparent punishment, therefore that does all the service, I mean in the way of example, which is the principle object. It is the real punishment that does all the mischief.” (Bentham 1988: 170; quoted in Bozovic 1995: 4)”

The Other Side
This is a photo gallery of the military base at Gitmo.
Come see the softer side of fear.
Waterslides?!
