“They have no regard for life, either ours or their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us.”

- The US Military double-speaks that the suicides of three detainees at the US base at Guantanomo Bay, Cuba, were actually acts of war. Detainees at “Gitmo” are being held indefinitely without formal charges, without legal representation, and without judicial review. Some have been held for more than three years. The UK constitutional affairs minister says the camp should be moved to the US or shut down. “If it’s perfectly legal and there’s nothing going wrong there - well, why don’t they have it in America and then the American court system can supervise it?”
