IF any of this is remotely true the Chicago Police Department is about to be shut down.

Why would the be shut down? They've been known to one of the most corrupt police forces in the world and their buddy is president.

Lol. Ain't no one shutting squat down.

Organized (as in government) crime is the future.

Didn't NDAA make this legal?

Of course they run a black site, its called their prison(s).

Not Stateside by any means.

Not sure that's true when you attach terrorism to the charges.

Outside of US Jurisdiction, you are correct.

Any time it takes place inside the jurisdictional boundaries of the US it has to be done in accordance with the Constitution.

I find the idea of this place appalling. It's almost too over the top to be believable.

Still don't think that's true. There have been numerous amendments shot down while trying to clarify the US soil issue. To my knowledge it was never explicitly excluded

Perhaps for terrorism cases but this place (if its true) is used to house ordinary criminals.

True and is scary but unfortunately not beyond belief. I was just looking at the charges against the nato three in the article and they included terrorism.

Terrorism is a vague definition in the context of local laws. Chicago might call it one thing, NYC something else for the purpose of charging. But I think you're referring to the NDAA 2012.

And the detention is actually spelled out specifically in the POTUS note on the matter. Not that I actually trust him or anything...

Barack Obama: Statement on Signing the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012

the bill may not be construed to affect any "existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States."

And believe it or not, Mother Jones actually has a pretty good breakdown of the situation:

Either way, this Chicago thing is local and not under Federal purview from my understanding.
