Maybe throwing a couple to the sharks might have cleared up a couple things: helped at least two die, while loosening the tongues of the rest.

Can you imagine all these guys kill themsleves and then the ACLU jumps in and sues to USA for "cruel and unusual punishment" that lead to their suicides. I think the US did the right thing to "save" them. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when a marine comes in and sees one hanging and says "ah ah ah .. your not getting off that easy!" as he cuts the rope/blanket. Can you imagine their frustration! All the moaning and tapping from the cells as they all cry their hearts out because they didnt get to meet their "virgins?!"

Suicide condemned by the Quran and Hadith...but for interpretation of course.

Twenty-three terror suspects tried to hang or strangle themselves

Twenty-three terror suspects lamely pretended to try to kill themselves in an attempt to get MSNBC to write a dopey article about the horrors of their situation.

They were successful, of course.

I suspect THAT is the real motivation and even if it wasn't, as you said, they got publicity from the MSM.
