15,000 more Iraq detainees by year-end (in addition to the 60,000 so far)

According to the Army, the US is planning to imprison 15,000 more “detainees” in Iraq over the next six months. (60,000 people have been detained so far.)

These little-known figures were revealed in a military contract that was flagged by Sharon Weinberger of Wired’s Danger Room blog. (However, they aren’t the focus of the post, which is titled “Strangest Iraq Contract Yet: Store Detainee Property.”) So far the media have completely ignored these revelations.
