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 scumbags are willing to blow themselves up in order to kill innocent civilians. Is THAT an "extreme measure they are willing to take"? Amnesty International is a joke.
