The Administration should stop trying to minimize the desperate actions of detainees with language that does not reflect the seriousness of the matter at hand. Colorful euphemisms such as 'manipulative self injurious behavior' and 'hanging gestures,' both used by the administration to refer to suicide attempts in the past, only belittle the gravity of the situation that detainees are facing and the extreme measures they are willing to take to escape the hopelessness with which they view their situation.
How about artificially induced virgin attainment activities?

"These apparent suicides, while regrettable, are the tragic results of years of arbitrary and indefinite detention, and the latest chapter in the human rights travesty that has emerged from years of the administration's attempts to circumvent the rule of law. I would have thought they were the results of tying a sheet around one's neck, standing on a stool, then kicking the stool away.

yawn. maybe the military should quit taking prisoners, thus leaving no prisoner problem for the administration to deal with.

Wonderful news- now on the talk shows tomrrow they will have two lurking possibilities:
1) Zarq survived the bombing, only to be murdered in cold blood by GI's.
2) 3 unlawfully imprisoned men tragically committed suicide in Gitmo.

By rounding up men from all over the world and confining them in an isolated penal colony without charge or trial, the United States has violated several U.S. and international laws and treaties.
Did the US sign a treaty where we agree to fight all wars with one arm tied behind our back? I think I missed that one.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't put something like that past Carter, or Clinton for that matter.

Bill O'Reilly was at Gitmo Friday and is having a special on it including interviews with interrogators and guards on his Monday show. Should be interesting.

Hmm... How about we offer an exchange program?
Amnesty International activists takes the place of terrorists, and the terrorists go to work at any Amnesty International office "outside" our borders.
If the terrorist ditches AI or commits an act of terror, the activist agrees to remain in custody until ransomed back by AI for several million dollars U.S. and a promise never to protest the detention of a terrorist or suspected terrorist again. And if the terrorist does commit an act of terror, an additional death payment for every death caused by the terrorist of several million dollars to the families of the deceased.
It is easy enough for Amnesty International to protest and demand the release of terrorists. It is another thing for them to promise to pay up if they're wrong.

Yeah. So?

"Today's reported suicides of detainees in Guantanamo should serve as a wake up call to President Bush and his administration that Guantanamo is not just a public relations problem, but instead an indictment on its deteriorating human rights record."
How so? Don't they have the right to commit suicide, if they want?
To: new yorker 77
I'm a little puzzled over these suicides. It was my understanding that suicide was absolutely forbiden in Islam. The imans have made an exception for suicide bombers though. BTW, good riddance to these.

Maybe we should just send all the detainees over to live in Jumana Musa's house and hold him responsible for all of their actions.

The day Amnesty Internation criticises Castro the same way they hammer away at the U.S. I might pay a little attention to what they say!!

My response is three less mouths to feed and three less Islamists to kill later.
