And The Downside Is??

By Maj P

As Op-For John might say, the day is full of good news...

Three beds open. I'm sure we can find three new worthies to fill them.

"...held for years without charge..."

Nice throwaway line. Remind me again what PoWs are usually charged with?

The press (and the whitehouse) should be telling the citizens that this is a ploy taken right out of the AQ playbook. We have the manuals.

Excuse me: these guys are suicide troops to begin with. Their ultimate goal is to die in a state of jihad. This psywar gambit is a perfect end to their total war.

And here is another reason I'm not in charge: I would deep-six the bodies with old engine blocks around the ankles about 5 miles off the coast of cuba....sure as hell,someone on the grave digging detail is going to throw some pork rinds in the burial pit

Goesh - You sound like a handy person to have around!

BTW, can someone explain the "mystical" thing about three needing to die so that the others can go free?

"...said the acts were tied to a "mystical" belief at Guantánamo that three detainees must die at the camp for all the detainees to be released. There have been 41 suicide attempts by 25 detainees since the facility opened, officials said."

The quote cited above was from the International Herald Tribune.
