Regardless of if you support or disagree with the war on terror..
 
I hope we can all come together and give our best wishes and support to the REAL victims at Guantanamo bay.

Poor guards... having war declared upon them by a horde of chained up prisoners...

(Sorry, I know it’s a shit thread and I am sure 90% of the people here read the BBC so have already seen the article, but the "act of war" part just made me feel it needed highlighting here...)

they're scraping the barrel somewhat to claim its an act of war, they just make themselves look even more rediculous

I wonder if all those ayrabs who get shot by US troops are gonna be charged with stealing US materiel if they run away with Army bullets in them.

What is the motive behind calling it an act of war?

because then we get an excuse to retaliate, beat their dead asses with a lead pipe and cover them in bacon. All in the name of self defence of course. THEY declared war you know…

Perhaps they can be prisoners of war now.

Don't you have to obey the rules of war then?

Apart from the obvious and already discussed disagreements everyone generally has with guantanamo this is turning into one of those text book examples of how not to put spin on a story.

Quote:

A top US official has described the suicides of three detainees at the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as a "good PR move to draw attention"...Speaking to the BBC's Newshour programme, Ms Graffy, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, said the three men did not value their lives nor the lives of those around them.

I saw this earlier too. It elevates taking the fking piss to a whole new level. I don't really know what else to say, other than what were they thinking?!

"An act of asymmetric warfare" has a very Douglas Adams feel about it, in the context.
