Riyadh is to spent about two billion Saudi Rials for the project which can accommodate up to 18000 inmates, they added.

Bin laden firm and with the help of German engineers will build the prisons in the Saudi cities of Mecca, Haer, Demmam, and Qasim.

The US has been under pressure due to violating individual rights in its detention camps in Europe and Guantanamo Bay.

    This is not only unacceptable, it is criminal! It is an insult to the citizens of the United States and a thumb in the nose to the world!

    It is humiliating enough that Osama Bin Forgotten is still at large, but now the family is further rewarded with huge contracts to build prisons to inter and torture more Americans and other innocent souls!

    My God Hitler would have a field day with this! If the founding fathers were alive they would disown this nation of ours!

    Kathleen good comments.. my thing is that the Guantanamo detainees need to be RELEASED not imprisoned longer. They actually claim that they are "closing" it as if this is a good thing – how good is it when they simply transfer the detainees? ARGH..

    Yes, the founding fathers would disown this nation. I'm tired of having to say I am ashamed of being American myself… maybe time to move.

    Don't feel guilty Linda, or unproud of being an American, its none of your doing.

    Everybody who voted for BUSH was conned by a criminal gang who have been around a long time since 1700s.

    We (not me personally) in Britain voted for Blair, yet we too got a war criminal.

    I stopped paying any tax two years ago so that at least I could say I did not help fund these criminals.

    The way to shut down the prioson is to shut down BUSH, thankfully he will go (all being well) prior to the other prioson being opened.
