It was all over the news yesterday, three prisoners - er 'detainees' (which is what we call people - terrorists that are denied any due process) committed the ultimate act of terrorism by hanging themselves in their Guantanamo "rooms".
Rear Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr. (nice name Harry Harris) commander of the detention "camp" said when asked about the suicides: "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."
Hold on... warfare against us? Isn't that taking the "if you don't let me borrow the car I'm going to hold my breath" tactic a little far?
Maybe the camp councelors are showing the campers Blazing Saddles every night after the nightly flogging. If it turns out to be true I think we owe the world an apology - no one should be subjected to repeated viewings of Mel Brooks' movies.

You are forgiven for paraphrasing that line. But "nightly flogging" is laying it on a bit thick.
