I don't know. Over a year being held in an outdoor chicken wire cage culminating in secret trials with army appointed officers as defense lawyers potentially followed by on site executions strikes me as kind of dramatic.

I don't think I'd call them 'death camps' exactly. They'd be more like the Kangaroo courts under Mao and Stalin, albeit on a much more limmited scale. But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day. I think if there's little public outcry and we cross our fingers I think little by little we cann work up to Totalitarianism.

Think of it this way, Vinth. There are foreign nationals from multiple countries at camp X-ray, including our allies. If we can establish an on the ground right to execute them following judgement by tribunal and with full secrecy, and we've already established the right to declre US citizens enemy combatants and remove their citizenship using secret evidence... well, who can say where it all might lead? Keep you fingerth crothed!
