I just have to say this quickly...

Rear Adm Harris said he did not believe the men at Guantanamo had killed themselves out of despair.

"They are smart. They are creative, they are committed," he said, quoted by Reuters.
"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."

And to add to this trend, a top US official (Colleen Graffy) has described the suicides of the three detainees at the US base as a "good PR move to draw attention".

This is pretty sick of that Harris guy, and unforgivable from Graffy!
Do you know what this is all about? I'll tell you.
There are what, like 450 people in Guantanamo without charge, without lawyer, without means to address their issues to ANYBODY because they live in no-mans land. For how long now? Four years? Correct me if I'm wrong. So here they are at Guantanamo Bay which the US leases from Fidel Castro for one Dollar a year 'cause the cigar smoking guy is too proud to ask anything of the United States. They live there without having access to any jurisdiction, cause there isn't any.
All the intelligence needed (if you want to go that far) after the invasion of Afghanistan and the consequent capture of these peoples, must have been extracted by now. But they are stuck there, forever it seems.
So what do you do as a detainee after all this time? You flip out and hang yourself.
And now this moron, Admiral Harris comes along and says: Those people have shown an act of warfare against us by killing themselves!!!!
What a fucking asshole.

You my readers do know my struggle with Mohammed and Islam, a journey that is not concluded; and you know also my thinking about any kind of religious extremism that ends up in violence.
But this Harris person tops it all for me today.
If I were an extremist of any sorts, I would scream out and say: Let's kill the bastard.
No wonder that people "with a cause" easily get recruited on a daily basis.
This madness has to stop.
CLOSE GUANTANAMO BAY NOW! We do not need that stinking breeding ground for more terrorists to be inspired. And on the side line, it's totally illegal.But who cares about international conventions, human rights, or moral grounds these days. Certainly not the present "empire" who was once upon a time so keen to get rid of the opressor, back in the days when they wrote the US constitution ... but those days are long gone.
The tea party is over.
It's time to voice your discontent!
