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.
....
No, this is simple suicide, not jihad martyrdom.
No virgins for them!!!
Perpetual shower room in Alcatraz. (I am an old, but evil, fart!)
Cool!
Dear sir,
You need to use spell check. It would be Crocodile.
I Have NO empathy for the " cause" these bastards think is right.
My post only stated I found NO humor in a person commiting suicide.
I have lived through that situation TOO much in my life.
I did not say " whoa unto them" I said I was not pleased with the theory that people were happy that other humans commited suicide. It was a general thought.
It had nothing to do with ME siding with the Gitmo prisoners.
My thought was that gloating over suicide was NOT what God wants us to do, Period, no matter what the relgion is.
End of story.
How inhuman are the Marines? The substandared conditions these prisoners are subject to are beyond belief. The very least they could do for these Haji's is to give them some decent rope...
The article doesn't say that the three were in isolation. IMHO if they were not, suicide is an unfounded assumption. As I said before when they broke up a necktie party, it could have been others enforcing Islamic discipline.
Has Cheney called Arlen Specter? Arlen will probably want an investigation! Where was Bush when this happened....how much did he know and when did he know it?
If sheets and clothes are registered, only Klansmen will... Oh forget it.
Question: "What are we going to do with these guys?"
Answer: Give them more sheets and blankets!

Rats have been in the voter lockup for longer than that, Lets pass the hat for some sheets for Schumer

Good - three less mouths to feed.
I'm delighted.
It doesn't get much better than this.
