Official US statement - a bad PR move

Has human life a value for the people in Washington or is death just a matter of statistics if the numbers are high enough as the old Soviet dictator Stalin once stated? When three prisoners (or whatever the US wants to call people sitting in concentration camps) in the US Camp Delta on Quantanamo bay commits suicide the US officials calls the tragedy "a good PR move" and "an act of illegal warfare against America". It doesnt matter for coldhearted people in Washington that at least one of de detainees was to be released and for that matter probably wasn´t the "illegal combatant" US wanted to make him. The American president later tryed to put oil on the waves - saying the dead will be trated with all respect due to their culture and religion. Bullcheese! Why would the president bother treating these people with dignity now when they are dead if he didnt give a crap for them while they where allive? How much dignity is it in sitting in a offshore camp, not knowing what you are accused of, without a chance to be proven guilty or not guilty, without having a chance to meet your peers and your family, for year after year after year? Cut the freakin crap please! The suicides wasn´t a good PR move from the detainees side. Holding concentration camps is a bad PR move for the US.
