Guantanamo Bay Detainee Kills Himself

Ken McCracken • May 31, 2007

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.

I think the problem is not the suicide, per se, it is the lack of explosives and access to children at an ice cream stand.

You know, the war would be over immediately if Al Qaeda would just surrender. Then we could do a prisoner exchange for Daniel Pearl and Nick Berg and give these guys back so that they can resume their jobs as chemists and engineers and doctors and lawyers and policemen since they were conscripted into military service by the Taliban and Al Qaeda and wore uniforms on the battlefield.

Wait, isn’t that how wars go? Geneva says it is. Ah, but these guys were part of a war against US forces and chose not to wear uniforms and engage in illegal war crimes and now they are being held against their will until the conflict is over–which according to Muslims will not be over until all of us convert to Islam or die.

It seems that they signed up for death, jihad, and vigins and instead we caught them and threw them in jail. I feel real bad for them. I am crying a tear now.

Hang yourself… it saves us the trouble of a tribunal.

What do these Liberal Boobs expect us to do with these guys. They aren’t a bunch of Chior boys. I wonder how the Saudies would deal with them.

Check the federal and state statistics on prison suicide stats. It happens everywhere. Gitmo prisoners have more priviledges than our home grown super max prisoners in the states have.

Why give anyone trials then? I’m sure if they’re being charged with a crime, they probably did it; the trial will just give them a day in court where they’ll be sentenced to life in prison again.

Do they have a flower shop at Gitmo?

I’ll send flowers after all are dealt with appropriately or disposed of in a sanitary manner.

Losing sleep over these barbarians does not cause me any heartburn.

I do not understand why the US government should concern itself with preventing these terrorists’ suicides. If the rest of the world’s radical Islamist terrorists would simply follow this guy’s example and assume room temperature, they could achieve their virgin-infested Islamist nirvannah, while the rest of us get on with our lives as before.
