On June 10, 2006, three Guantánamo prisoners were found dead in their cells. Two days later, a Department of Defense (DoD) news release described these deaths as suicides. The news release quoted Camp Commander Harry Harris, who described these suicides as acts of asymmetric warfare meant to advance al-Qaeda's cause in the war on terror.
The news release was categorical with regards to the self-inflicted nature of the deaths. And the camp commander was equally certain of their hostile intent. Yet the news release was curiously guarded about the manner of these deaths - the three "appear" to have hanged themselves with nooses made of bed sheets and clothing, it said.

I don't care what happened. It boils down to three less threats to me, my family and my country. Maybe we will get lucky and the rest will follow suit.
this could not be. after all didn't "he" close gitmo with a pen stroke the very first day of his administration? Hasn't gitmo been closed since 1/21/2011?
