Three Prisoners Release Themselves From Gitmo

Three choice cells have suddenly become available at that tropical paradise, Guantanamo Bay:

Three Guantanamo Bay detainees hanged themselves with nooses made of sheets and clothes, the commander of the detention center said Saturday. They were the first reported deaths among the hundreds of men held at the base for years without charge.

The suicides, which military officials said were coordinated, triggered further condemnation of the isolated detention center, which holds some 460 men on suspicion of links to Al Qaeda and the Taliban. There has been growing international pressure on the U.S. to close the prison.

Two men from Saudi Arabia and one from Yemen were found dead shortly after midnight Saturday in separate cells, said the Miami-based U.S. Southern Command, which has jurisdiction over the prison. Attempts were made to revive them, but they failed.

"They hung themselves with fabricated nooses made out of clothes and bed sheets," Navy Rear Adm. Harry Harris told reporters in a conference call from the U.S. base in southeastern Cuba.

It's not known whether these guys will still qualify for the 72 virgins. I'm sure all three guys were disappointed that they failed to take any infidels with them. There may be a virgin deduction because of that failure.

On the serious side, this was obviously a coordinated effort designed to bring more criticism down on the US. The usual suspects will have their panties in a wad over these suicides, but will not offer any solutions as to what to do with all these creeps if you can't keep them in Gitmo.
