“Medical and psychiatric teams are working to try to prevent further injury or attempts,” Pentagon spokeswoman Navy Lt. Cmdr. Barbara Burfeind said, declining further comment.

You're paying, what, 75 bucks for a 45 minute hour with your shrink, suckah?! It's free, all you gotta do is become a terrorist!

Cleary, five suicide attempts in two weeks ought to give grave cause for alarm, Amnesty spokesman said Friday.

Ever notice how whenever a sentence starts with "clearly", everything that follows it is bullshit?

An Amnesty International official called for an investigation.

An investigation into the fact that these guys are planning this all as a group because they know that the bleeding hearts will take notice?

Yep, especially if the statement is coming from Amnesty International. They're a dirtbag organization that should be defunded and sent to live in the middle east with the muslims that they love so much.

“Clearly, five suicide attempts in a few weeks ought to give grave cause for alarm,” Amnesty spokesman Alistair Hodgett said Thursday.

Ol' Alistair Hodgett is correct. This should give us all 'grave cause for alarm'. Why? Because the a$$holes attempting suicide didn't succeed.

Yup, in this case "clearly" is a synonym for "honestly". Whenever someone says "honestly" or "to be perfectly honest" watch out!

The only difference worth noting regarding Islamic suicide attempts at Gitmo and Islamic suicide attempts elsewhere, is that at Gitmo the perps don't get to blow up pizza parlors or skyscrapers in the process.

Oh no. They don't get off that easy.

After they have been pumped dry of all information, then they may kill themselves.

If Amnesty International is so concerned about these attempted suicides, perhaps they should spend more time in Israel trying to prevent suicide bombings over there.

This is very disturbing.

How are all of these guys tied to X42?

No, Amnesty International has done some good work on behalf of Soviet dissidents and others under Communism. But, in a typically Western post-modern fashion they try their hardest to be so damn non-judgmental, so impartial, in the face of evil. You just can't do that outside of Utopia, and even the Holy Father, who loves and defends all mankind, knows better!

BBBWWWAAHHHH! Good point.

The only things these guys are depressed about is the fact that they didn't get to commit a mass murder of the innocent.

Maybe we could get them jobs, like hanging onto a building or bridge support that is destined for demolition.

They could wear dynamite belts.
