Foucault borrows the concept from Jeremy Bentham and then elaborates on it:

If I could but possess, pelagius's financial acumen, PAC and Goat's wit, Jeff's engineering expertise, SIEQ's philosophical insights and vocabulary, Creekster's former cycling ability, Seattle's writing ability, Solon's classical knowledge, CHC's critical training, AA's potential and Mike's ingenuity, I'd really be unstoppable.

Whether or not we should double or close Gitmo, I'm trying to think of a worse analogy than that of a concentration camp ... and it's just not coming.

In the unlikely event he's still on the ballot when the primary comes to Texas I will vote for him. Otherwise I probably won't vote in the GOP primary. Chances are it'll all be decided before I get the chance to vote for anyone as the nomination process is so skewed towards a small handful of states.

Whether Gitmo fits the decription of a panopticon or not, I am uncertain as I'm a little, or rather a lot rusty on my Foucault, but I do remember some of the details of concentration camps having studied German and lived in Germany, and the comparison is very poor and in poor taste. Perhaps the Japanese internment camps creates a better analogy.

Well for that I'd need a nympho, horny ass wife. I'd be on for that.
