Guantanamo Suicides Spun As "Act of War"

"They are smart, they are creative, they are committed," Admiral Harris said. "They have no regard for life, neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us."

You must read the New York Times article. The galling effrontery of the Pentagon's Orwellian Newspeak has achieved new depths never before imaginable in the history of American political rhetoric.

I cannot decide which was the greater act of desperation: the suicides or Admiral Harris' insultingly disingenuous attempt to spin them.

Any person capable of making assertions such as Admiral Harris' must be deeply troubled--pathologically so. Anyone who would buy such assertions is likewise suffering from a psychological disorder. And moral and spiritual disorders.

Tacitus put it best when he observed: "Crime once exposed has no refuge but in audacity."

How long, O Lord, until these criminals in uniforms and suits are brought to justice?
