I just received this e-mail from Seton Hall Law Professor Mark Denbeaux, who along with his son Joshua, is representing some of the detainees at Guantanamo, inlcuding one of those on a hunger strike.

Joshua and I just returned from Guantanamo this week. One of our clients was forceably extracted during our interview day because he was attempting suicide and required force feeding. He said that he would rather die than stay in Guantanamo and they confiscated our news stories in which Bush announced that he wanted to close Guantanamo. The same detainee who was so depressed that he wanted to die, was prevented from seeing a news story that might have given him hope.

Our client Mohammad Rahman actually has serious health conditions that they will not address. When he was 32 he had a pacemaker installed and he had a heart valve replaced. The valve seems to be leaking again. We have tried to obtain his medical records, to no avail, and to obtain real medical assistance for his heart and other his serious health problems. They provide nothing– but they will interrupt our client interview to “protect his health and life” by force feeding him.

This was the worst three days of my life. There is a great deal more. Now we hear the government’s strident characterizations of these suicides.

The Denbeaux are the primary authors of two prior reports on the detainees (here and here.) They also are putting together the October, 2006 Guantanamo Teach-In.

AirmanTux asks: “Next march I will be separating from the US Air Force, after six years wearing ‘the uniform’, working in the closest thing to IT that the military has. For certain reasons, I’ve come to the conclusion that I will be more effective in serving the US public out of uniform than in it. There seems to be a common belief that the civilian sector is just as disorganized and mismanaged as the uniformed services. Do you think this is true? Are there any ‘honest’ places to work any more (where promotions/awards are based on work preformed and bureaucracy, and politics aren’t encouraged to supplant the ‘mission), or has America become one big living Dilbert strip?”

Three detainees at Guantanamo Bay committed suicide in what apparently was a joint pact to protest the U.S. military prison that holds suspected terrorists, a senior administration official said Saturday.

It was not immediately clear when the inmates died. The United States is holding about 460 men at the Cuban facility on suspicion of links to al Qaeda and the Taliban.

It also was not clear whether the suicides were connected to a violent clash last month between detainees and military guards at Guantanamo.

The Pentagon scheduled a briefing for later Saturday.

President Bush, spending the weekend at Camp David, was notified of the incident, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Pentagon was announcing the details.
