3 suicides at Guantanamo surprise surprise

Hello! Prisoners are well into their fifth year of detention with no end insight, they, lack due process, have not been charged not to mention being subjected to constant torture both mentally and physically. Is it a surprise they want to kill themselves? Shouldn’t red lights have been flashing everywhere in people’s heads ages ago? Guantanamo is a loop hole for the despicable. Strip away all the complications and politics and the situation becomes crystal clear, Dogs are treated better than these people are being treated. The cruelty of it all blows me away. And because we are removed from the situation it is easy to toss it aside and think about it on a different day but when the deputy assistant secretary of the state for public diplomacy starts saying things like “the deaths were a good PR move" and describes the suicides as "a tactic to further the jihadi cause", I stop and think “are you kidding me? Did you just say what I think you just said?” These are the people we take for granted? These are the people that represent the majority? What is the world coming to? It's utterly ridiculous!
