The Guantánamo “Suicides”: A Camp Delta sergeant blows the whistle

In March there will be a story published in Harper’s Magazine written by human-rights attorney Scott Horton that speaks to an alleged triple murder carried out by either military and/or intelligence operatives of our government involving three detainees at the Guantanamo detention camp in Cuba.  A soldier who was stationed at the unit when the alleged murders occurred has come forward with the story. 

Apparently these three men were described by our people on scene in their official reports as having committed suicide.  The problem is that their hands and/or feet were bound when they were found hanging in their cells with rags stuffed down their throats.  This happened June 9, 2006.

The problem for the Obama Administration is that there is apparently evidence available to independent investigators that (1) the present Administration knew of these alleged murders and (2) continued the cover-up of the murders once it took office.  This flies in the face of President Obama’s promise that in closing Guantanamo it would be in order to “restore the standards of due process and the core constitutional values that have made this country great.”

 The full article will be available in Harper’s Magazine in less than six weeks.

  1. Yeah, I can’t see how they can commit suicide if their hands are tied. But the whistle blower (judging by what happened to the UBS whistle blower and a couple of VA employees) is probably in real trouble now. He’ll have a clean conscious though and I hope it helps to pay his bills. Can’t understand why nowadays when someone tries to do the right thing (according to honesty/ morals taught in school) and ends up paying a heavy price for it, too heavy. If it offends your senses, it is not moral. Then again from experience, I should know. I paid that price long ago. I don’t need someone that is (supposedly) higher up that was not there, doesn’t do what I do and has no experience anything close to it, telling me what is right or wrong. I can think for myself now. Hey I’ve changed, I can see the light.

  2. I am so sick of grieving for what my country is doing to people all over the world.

    Alton, people like you help me cope. I was a VA nurse. You would be surprised at how people in all kinds of professions have to compromise their beliefs.After a while, just telling myself it was the system didn’t work anymore.
