Suicides succeed at Guantanamo
"They are smart, they are creative, they are committed," Admiral Harris said. "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."
I believe this could be also said about those who run Gitmo where 10 out of the almost 500 detainees have been accused of anything. The rest are looking at indefinite detention at the hands of patriotic sadists.

Harris is recycling the old rhetoric peddled by Rumsfeld that these are the baddest, worstest folks on the ranch, and by golly we ain't gonna tolerate things like due process, adequate representation, and hearings. Thems for sissies who don't got the whole picture like we does.
Either hold hearings and do it right (which includes things like letting the defense see the evidence) or let them go. And before closing the whole thing down, I would strongly recommend putting Rumsfeld, Harris, Ashcroft, Gonzales, Anne Coulter (you bet!), Bill O'Reilly, Cheney, Condi, Laura Bush, Bush (but in separate cells) and a few others, in for awhile without telling them when they will get out. And to make it even better, engage in a little extraordinary rendition to get them there. They should all look fetching in orange.
