Guantanamo Bay Detainee Kills Himself
Call me cynical, but I’ll get it was staged like past suicides at Gitmo have been. All so that the self-important “human rights” lawyers can get off quotes like this one:
Lawyer Julia Tarver Mason, whose firm represents eight Saudi detainees at Guantanamo, said she has tried so far without success to learn from the government if the apparent suicide was by one of her clients.
“They are in the care of the United States government and that should mean that deaths should not occur,” Mason said.
It would be the fourth suicide at Guantanamo since the prison camp opened in January 2002. On June 10, 2006, two Saudi detainees and one Yemeni hanged themselves with sheets.
And as I’ve already pointed out, the first three were staged.
The bleeding hearts continue:
“You have five and a half years of desperation there with no legal way out,” said Michael Ratner, president of the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights. “Sadly, it leads to people being so desperate they take their own lives.”
Marc Falkoff, who is part of a team of attorneys representing 17 men from Yemen, said the suicide should be expected given the conditions at Guantanamo.
“We’ve said all along that the guys are going to try to take their lives and that appears to be what happened here,” Falkoff said. “It’s just incredibly sad and it wouldn’t happen if these guys were just given their day in court.”
And what happens when they’re given their day in court and they’re sentenced to life in detention centers? I’m sure lawyers like Falkoff would then continue their quest to see these people freed, because the goal here isn’t constitutional rights or fair trials. The goal here for people like Falkoff is embarrassing the American government. Because they see us as the real enemies in the world.
You wait and see. This suicide will come out as a publicity stunt. I’ll all but guarantee it.
