Even the brass admits to 25 other attempts at suicide.  Gitmo, of course, where hundreds are cooped up for years, with no legal representation, no charges filed, and no way out.  Then some numb skull general says the suicides are “AN ACT OF WAR.”  Three dead enslaved guys who probably didn’t know why they were […]
