Hang ‘Em High

Three Club Gitmo guests checked out of the tropical terrorist resort and spa without paying their tab. Bastards.

From the AP Here:

One of the Guantanamo detainees who committed suicide had been cleared for transfer to another country, a second was involved in a 2001 prison uprising in Afghanistan where a CIA agent died, and a third had ties to al-Qaida, the Pentagon said Sunday.

The Department of Defense identified the three as Saudi Arabians Mani Shaman Turki al-Habardi Al-Utaybi and Yassar Talal Al-Zahrani and Yemeni Ali Abdullah Ahmed. The two Saudis were also identified earlier by Saudi officials.

The three hanged themselves with nooses made from sheets and clothing early Saturday, bringing renewed pressure on the United States to close the prison on a naval base in Cuba where about 460 men are held, almost all of them without charge.

I am very thankful that these evil men took their own lives without dynamite strapped to their chests in one of the local malls here. As far as closing down the prison? Well, if the other 457 guests at the world’s best terrorist spa and resort commit suicide, I would be okay with closing down the prison.

As a reminder, Gitmo Guests are there because they were captured, out of uniform, fighting against the United States. As uniformed soldiers, they would qualify as prisoners of war. Since they are civilians who volunteered to leave their own countries and fight against our boys, they get an all-expense paid trip to lovely Camp Xray, where they should stay locked up until the war on terror is over.
