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.
....
I hope this starts a trend. It will save us the trouble of doing it.
Send more ropes to Gitmo!
I just heard Trace Gallagher state that the US thinks these suicides were an act of warfare, not desperation, since they did it in unison.
That's right! This is a terrorist attack on the US.
Batteries dead?
How did you get that photo straight out of their cells so quick?
You must have excellent connections.
Wow........I can not believe anyone is thrilled about another human being commiting suicide,I think it is an awful thing.
Tomorrow the news media will be blaming the U.S. for this "dreadful loss of innocent life". They will be claiming that clinical depression, caused by being incarcerated without a fair trial, was the reason for the suicides. They will claim that our troops are indifferent to human life and are murderers. They will babble, rail, carp, lie, confuse and spew, and nobody will believe them anymore. The news of three more dead terrorists is uplifting and good, and all the drive-by-media spinning in the world won't change that wonderful reality one little bit.
Let's hope this is a trend.
Great news, saved the taxpayers money.
Three less potential Democrat voters.
You can blame the so called do gooders from the human rights commission who demanded that the detainees be allowed privacy. Had they not been, the guard would have seen what they were up to and could have prevented the suicide
I saw that, too.
Irony alert! Too darned bad that thanks to the Red Cross our troops weren't able to save these guys - next, they need to darken the windows of the prisoners on food strikes and let them hang themselves on their feeding tubes. Feeding this scum is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
Yes they will, and as Christopher Hitchens has said, each one of them comes complete with a mother-in-law.

Tomorrow morning on the talk shows perhaps. Can't wait for El Rushbo to take this up! :)
