This is so disgusting.....

So, here we are in the land of the free and the brave, .... and.... we have our troops and CIA folks kidnapping people around the world, detaining them without evidence, charges, arrest, trial or sentence - opps, got that wrong, they are sentenced to HELL ON EARTH. And then they torture and sometimes murder them.

And one of the men who felt he needed to end his life was due to be released, because he didn't do anything!!

WHAT HAVE WE BECOME TO ALLOW THIS SITUATION TO CONTINUE??

WELL, THE ANSWER WOULD BE "MONSTERS".

Three Detainees Who Committed Suicide Are Identified

The Pentagon identified the three as Saudi Arabians Mani Shaman Turki al-Habardi al-Utaybi, 30, and Yassar Talal al-Zharani, 22, and Ali Abdullah Ahmed of Yemen, who was 29 or 30. Ahmed, the Pentagon said, was a "mid- to high-level al-Qaeda operative." It said he was "hostile" during his time at Guantanamo Bay and was a "long-term hunger striker" from late 2005 to last month. The Pentagon identified Shaman Turki as a militant who worked as a recruiter for al-Qaeda and who had been part of Jamaat Tabligh, which it said had been banned in Saudi Arabia in the 1980s. He had been recommended for transfer to the custody of another country before his suicide, the Pentagon said. It said he would also have been under detention there. Yassar Talal was said to have been a front-line fighter for the Taliban who was captured by Afghan forces, then in November 2001 participated in a prison uprising in Mazar-e Sharif in which Johnny "Mike" Spann, a CIA officer, was killed. The deaths come amid growing criticism of the prison, where about 450 detainees have been held for years. Last month, a U.N. panel called for the United States to close the facility. The suicides occurred weeks after two detainees tried to kill themselves with antidepressant drugs they had gathered in their cells. Shortly after those suicide attempts on May 18, detainees at the prison rioted, attacking guards with makeshift weapons. Until the latest incident, Defense Department officials had prided themselves on not having a single suicide, despite 41 attempts by about 25 detainees.

Dead Detainee ‘Was To Be Freed’

One of the three men who committed suicide at the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay was due to be released - but did not know it, says a US lawyer. Mark Denbeaux, who represents some of the foreign detainees said the man was among 141 prisoners due to be released. He said the prisoner was not told because US officials had not decided which country he would be sent to. Meanwhile, a top US official appeared to row back from the tough line taken by other officials over the suicides. At the weekend, one top state department official called them a "good PR move to draw attention", while the camp commander said it was an "act of asymmetric warfare waged against us".

Professor Denbeaux told the BBC World Service that the feeling among detainees at the Cuba camp was one of hopelessness. "These people are told they'll be 50 by the time they get out, that they have no hope of getting out. They've been denied a hearing, they have no chance to be released," he said. He said US policy was to refuse to tell prisoners they were due to be released until a location had been found. Utaybi had been declared a "safe person, free to be released" but the US needed a country to send him to, Professor Denbeaux said. His despair was great enough and in his ignorance he went and killed himself," he said.
