Suicide at Gitmo

They must be under tremendous psychological stress:



SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Jan 25, 2005 — The U.S. military said 23 Guantanamo Bay terror suspects carried out a coordinated effort to hang or strangle themselves in 2003 during a week-long protest in the secretive camp in Cuba.



It must be the inhumane conditions. Why else would a jihadist, who is committed to the obliteration of infidels, attempt such an act? Here is an interesting statement:



[Dr. Daryl Matthews, a forensic psychiatrist at the University of Hawaii] criticized some practices, and said it was "appalling" that medical professionals shared detainees' medical records with interrogators.



Could it be that knowing some of a prisoner's medical history is key to interrogating them without causing physical harm? Would they treat a person with a heart condition differently than some one without one?
