A judge has dealt a setback to the families of two Guantanamo Bay detainees in a lawsuit that alleges former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, military officers and medical personnel were responsible for the detainees' deaths.
The case alleging unlawful treatment of former prisoners Yasser Al-Zahrani and Salah Ali Abdullah Ahmed Al-Salami is barred by the Military Commissions Act of 2006, U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle ruled Tuesday.
Al-Zahrani and Al-Salami were among three men who allegedly committed suicide on the night of June 9, 2006. They were found hanging in their cells at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Al-Zahrani was from Saudi Arabia. Al-Salami was from Yemen.

If they did not hang they would have been released only to come back and commit more acts of terror!
It is about time the judges start saying no to the political correctness regarding Terrorists. Tough beans that they hang themselves and the family wants restitution. Maybe if the parents and families intructed their children and were involved with them as they grew maybe the terrorists would lived out till old age. Basically Gitmo terrorists should receive a serious date with a bullet.
“They were found hanging in their cells at the U.S. detention center...”
And this is alleged to be a problem because...
They fell.
What’s the problem?
