At first reading this could be read to imply that a camp had been hit by three suicide bombers. But on further reading the article refers to three detainees at Guantanamo Bay who had committed suicide. The english language can be a wonderful thing for spinning. I think it's called Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).
But what's worse is the reaction of the camp commander Navy Rear Adm. Harry Harris, who called the suicides "acts of asymmetrical warfare". No, really! Now killing yourself and nobody else is an act of asymmetrical warfare. How fucked up, twisted and paranoid do you have to be to think like that?!
The Orange report quotes camp commander Navy Rear Adm. Harry Harris as telling reporters,
"They are smart. They are creative, they are committed. They have no regard for life, neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us,".
Yeah, it was an act of desperation all right. No rights, no trial to defend yourself, torture, and caged like animals for years with no end in sight.
Lock Harris up in shackles in a cage for years without trial and let's see what he tells reporters then.
