When was the first terrorist taken to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba?

Who decided we needed this camp in June 2000? Who was the contracting

officer for this project?

Va., is being awarded $9,700,000 for Task Order 0019 under a

This part of the contract was PHASE III!!!!

Awarded is goverment talk that equals " giving and/or issuing " the

contract to the vendor/supplier/contrator.

The goverment contracting process is normally very slow.

not to exceed $300,000,000, which includes the base period (2000) and

four option years " .
