Pfft, Yeah. Someone Cut His Mic

Guantanamo Bay, that lovely vacation spot for foreign nationals, is back in the news again. Three guys finally managed to kill themselves -- something that has been tried, but only finally succeeded now.

Unfortunately, certain American talking heads in the military have neglected to really think before speaking, and this was reported on the BBC today:

The camp commander, Rear Admiral Harris said he did not believe the men had killed themselves out of despair.

"They are smart. They are creative, they are committed," he said.

"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."
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all about you.

Some of these guys have been locked up for four years. Let's have some trials, shall we? I'm not saying they're innocent or deserve pudding after dinner or anything, but how about basically using a legal system, huh?

And a fucking act of war? An asymmetrical act of war, even? I didn't know they came in symmetry. I'm so damned uninformed about these things! Jesus Christ. Three guys hang themselves and it's somehow an attack on the US. Yeah. Bad publicity brings such good casualty numbers these days. God. Some of these Army dudes, man... it's a wonder.

Crazy shit. Three years, huh? Wow. Someone's gotta stick Rumsfeld's head in a toilet bowl and give him a swirlie before they show him the back door. It's time.
