Three members of the GuantĂ¡namo Inmate Army have struck yet another blow against the faltering AmeriCuban Marine Contingent by...hanging themselves to death, after four years of no legal process. A harsh blow against the AmeriCuban Marines, the morale in the soldiers' mess hall was palpable when I fantasized an interview with a soldier.

"They hung themselves with fabricated nooses made out of clothes and bed sheets,' base commander Navy Rear Adm. Harry Harris told reporters in a conference call from the US base in southeastern Cuba.
'They have no regard for human life,' he said. 'Neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation but an act of asymmetric warfare against us.' rawstory.com, "Guantanamo suicides 'acts of war', June 11, 2006 - 2:23PM
The soldiers I pretended to interview agreed.
"If they keep killing themselves like this, I'm not sure how much longer we can hold out against them," said my imaginary interviewee who then laughed his head off at the idea of sheet-suicide as warfare.
10 of the 460 men kept in this AmeriCuban Prison of No Law have been charged with a crime in the past four years of Gitmo's existence. The rest continue to threateningly brandish sheets and strike fear into the armed Marines who do NOT torture them on a regular basis.
The outcome of the cleverly coordinated suicide attacks has yet to be determined, but makers of penal-system linens are scrambling to distance themselves from the sheet-warriors by printing warnings on their product that state "This fabric not intended to aid in the struggle for due legal process."
