An attorney who represented prisoners detained at Guantanamo Bay was found dead last week in what sources said was a suicide.
Andy P. Hart, 38, a federal public defender in Toledo, Ohio, apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Hart left behind a suicide note and a thumb drive, believed to contain his case files. It is unknown where Hart died, what the suicide note said or whether an autopsy was performed.
Hart’s death comes amid escalating chaos that has engulfed Guantanamo over the past three months—from a mass hunger strike to military commissions and renewed pressure on the White House to shut down the prison facility. Hart was one of three-dozen Guantanamo attorneys who signed a letter in March urging Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to take immediate action and bring about an end to the hunger strike.

Hmmmm....something is not right with this!
Suicide? I doubt it.
Just level the place already. Nothing good will come from the people inside.
I'm with you, 2:29. Something VERY fishy about this story....
why are we worried about the prisoners there? they want to kill us. duh...
I say give them a toothpick and leave them alone. they are grown men and can decide for themselves how much to eat; unless Bloomberg goes there. lol
the prisoners should not have been taken there in the first place. what's wrong with building a temporary prison where they're captured? they should all be air lifted home & dropped off with their choice to wear a parachute, or not.
