Comments on: Gitmo suicides http://deepblade.net/journal/2006/06/gitmo-suicides.html Cutting through the effects of the US empire Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:36:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Eric http://deepblade.net/journal/2006/06/gitmo-suicides.html#comment-597 Eric Sun, 18 Jun 2006 21:43:25 +0000 http://deepblade.net/journal/2006/06/gitmo-suicides.html#comment-597 John, Mustafa, welcome. Always good to have new readers. John- Not sure what you mean by ``racists who killed so many in the Civil War are still with us''. It's natural to avert our eyes from the actions of our government that bring us shame. That's why it's so easy for too many Americans to eat up the dismissals of the likes of Duncan Hunter and Bill O'Reilly http://mediamatters.org/items/200606160005 Mustafa- Click through that link to Daily Kos http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/6/10/155258/545 and tell me what you think. In that item, there are references to the dozens, if not hundreds, of suicide attempts at Gitmo since 2002. That is why I used the adverb ``finally'' in front of ``succeeded''. John, Mustafa, welcome. Always good to have new readers.

It doesn't make sense, all that torture for 4 years now they committ suicide? I doubt it, if i was tortured I would self-terminate right away and escape the torture but they waited for four years...

The same war-profiteers and racists who killed so many in the Civil War are still with us, and as with all things shameful, we have a stunning capacity for not talking about it.
