3 Gitmo Detainees Reportedly Hang Selves
(AP) WASHINGTON Three Guantanamo Bay detainees hanged themselves with nooses made of sheets and clothes, the commander of the detention center said Saturday.
They were the first reported deaths among the hundreds of men held at the base in Cuba — some of them for up to 4 1/2 years and without charge.
Two men from Saudi Arabia and one from Yemen were found "unresponsive and not breathing in their cells" early Saturday, according to a statement from the Miami-based U.S. Southern Command, which has jurisdiction over the prison. Attempts were made to revive the prisoners, but they failed.
"They hung themselves with fabricated nooses made out of clothes and bed sheets," Navy Rear Adm. Harry Harris told reporters in a conference call from the U.S. base in southeastern Cuba.
Pentagon officials said the three men were in Camp 1, the highest maximum security prison at Guantanamo, and that none of them had tried to commit suicide before.
....
A smart guard would go for a cigarette break at that point...LOL
Living in Florida I'd rather not- that bait may end up in a fish I eat..
We do, however, have some amusing gators wandering around here of late ... perhaps after a snack from Gitmo they'd lose their taste for all things human..
He also asked the guards about the hunger strikes and was told the prisoners do that just for the LSM, the IRC and the Human rights group. As soon as they leave they go back to eating again. It is all for show.
I must be really twisted. I laughed out loud at that picture and caption. Sometimes I shame myself. But, dern, that was funny.
Was the lemon fricasseed chicken overdone again?
Must be despondent over Zark's demise.
OK - easy solution - no bed sheets and no clothes.... OF course, I would hate to be a guard there...
He sure did say that. Should be a very, very interesting O'Reilly report on Monday.
Probably tired of jailhouse food. I'm thinking a porkchop samwich and a suicide pill might make a nice change of diet...
Bill O'Reilly also said these are the worst of the worst. So no big loss there imho
Your compassion is commendable, why didn't you invite these 'human beings' to live at your home?
By the way you bleeding heart wuss, these three "human beings" all committed suicide in unison, which clearly shows they weren't acts of individual desperation, but were carefully plotted to give the media another high profile, (and totally bogus) 'reason' to condemn the U.S. military. NOBODY with an iota of intelligence is buying into your contrived sympathy for these beasts, so spare us all and save your crocadile tears for the DU.
ROTFLMAO!!!
It sure should be. I wonder if he will also mention it on his radio show. I normally don't listen to it, but I will try to listen on Monday
How many more to go?
