	Suicide? Murder at Guantanamo

The news informs us that a fifth person imprisoned at Guantanamo has died. They 
call it "suicide." It's no such thing, whether the actual instrument of death 
was his own hand or not. No, these five deaths were murder, pure and simple. 
People imprisoned without charges, without trial, for an indefinite period of 
time. Force fed when they choose to go on hunger strikes, frequently tortured or 
otherwise treated harshly, these men were driven to despair, and driven to their 
deaths just as surely as if they had been pushed off a cliff.

"Suicide"? Hardly. These were murders. Murders committed by the same war 
criminals whose victims include more than a million Iraqis and thousands upon 
thousands of Afghans, Pakistanis, Somalis, and others.
