More transparent bullshit

The deputy commander of Guantánamo tells us that "four to six" prisoners harmed themselves in the past month or two. He doesn't have a precise number? No, he just won't give it.

He also tells us that the suicide attempts are about public relations, despite the fact that they happen in secret and the inmates have no access to any information confirming for them that anyone knows about it.

And he tell us that, despite substantial blood loss from a self-inflicted wound to the throat, the prisoner was never in danger of dying. Riiight.

Well, isn't that just ... bullshit from start to finish.

It's pretty hard to cast any sympathetic light on those prisoners at Guantánamo who really are terrorists, but the Bushists have managed even that with their attempt to carve out a lawless enclave.
