Gitmo Hangings

The recent hangings at Gitmo will probably, in the end, result in our closign the facility. I am against closing it, and in fact could care less if they all hanged themselves. Here are a couple of interesting 'facts'.
1) There were/are curtains hanging over the door windows at the facility. Why do you ask would that be? Couldn't the openness of the windows prevent someone taking their own life? Umm, yas it could, B U T - the International Red Cross 'demanded' the prisioners be afforded privacy so as to give dignity. So, "I" say, as for me? I hope they hang themselves one at a time until it is prudent to close because there are no more prisoners or until the International Red Cross DEMANDS the curtains come down.
2) The soilders [accused - not even charged] with the atrocities in Haditha are, or I should say, 'were' being held in shackles until very recently. Not even charged. Where 'is' that Red Cross when one needs them.
