18. Just means they're taking the exact same operation
and spreading it to other prisons - who operate the exact same way....only now when you hear of prison abuse and torture - you won't hear "Abu Ghraib" and instead of instantly shuddering because of the well deserved negative associations with the name "Abu Ghraib", we'll get a whole new prison name to learn - and shudder to

Bucca doesn't have the same effect as Abu Ghraib even though torture and abuse took place at Bucca...even Cropper has had it's cases of abuse - but since it's not a name most people associate with the torture in Iraq, most people can read the name and not flinch.

That's all about to change.

Cropper is NOT new, btw - they're lying when they claim it is - oh, they might have a newER prison in a bigger, more tucked away, location, but Camp Cropper is NOT new and they have been holding prisoners since it's been around...
