OK.. Goes like this Edge... So far, out of over 500 people, only 10 (approx) have had any basis established where there could actually be a court hearing.
After X years of containing these people in conditions which are certainly not "conventional" and putting them under stress over this time - it is little surprise some resort to suicides.
From the accounts of those released from Gitmo - no person in possession of a balanced mind would consider the conditions there were in any way humane.
It is also worth nothing, that well above the average numbers of those released - they are not bitter or hold grudges, - but there seems to be a common theme that "some people in this world are simply evil". Where does that come from?
No person in the "free" world can be labelled as a crook or terrorist without have a trial and convicted of a related offense. Until that happens - there are no "terrorists" at Gitmo - it's a myth.
PS ... There is one guy who was released from there... a very bright, articulate and succinct man who is more than able to give an open and unbiased account of his time in Gitmo. A friend (actually represents authors and organizes conferences) is so confident in his balanced dialog and agreed to promote his book and also have him as a main speaker at major conferences. (He'll be in good company along with the previous speaker lists - Bush Senior, Bill Clinton blah blah). Never met him yet - but will, and going to be interesting.
