Suicide is an Act of War - the Age of Unreason is with us
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
3 men are lying dead tonight in Guantanamo prison, the illegal, extra - territorial Gulag which is commanded by Rear Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr.,
It is impossible to believe the truth of anything that the US authorities say about this shameful place... current propaganda is that 2 were from Saudi Arabia and the third was from Yemen. Military officials said that the 3 hanged themselves in their cells with nooses made of sheets and clothing and died before they could be revived by medical personnel ... they remain un - named, anonymous, lumps of Muslim meat.
Adm. Harris, a sentient, no doubt well educated, family man, has called the suicides an act of war. God help us.
"They are smart. They are creative, they are committed. 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," he told reporters.
They were discovered just after midnight on Saturday June 10th 2006 when a guard noticed something out of the ordinary in a cell and found that a prisoner had hanged himself.
All three men left suicide notes in Arabic, officials said. One of the detainees was a mid- or high-level Qaeda operative, another had been captured in Afghanistan and the third was a member of a splinter group. It is claimed that all three had participated in hunger strikes at the detention center.

The age of unreason. That really sums it up. Check out this republican blog where I encountered someone who believes al Quaeda to be a greater threat to humanity than Nazism and Communism were:

Oh dear. I should add that the posters on that blog appear more educated and thoughtful than those who comment on a great many others. That they would still hold such bizzare views is surprising but I guess it can be explained by your age of unreason.
What was it that Colin Powell called the neocons - ah yes, "f**cking crazies".
