No.

I do.

Really.

I do wish I could care.

But all I can do is thank God that there are three fewer America-hating terrorists in the world.

Three prisoners at the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have hanged themselves in what is being called a "planned event," the U.S. military has said.

They are the first confirmed deaths at the compound. Prisoners have attempted suicide in the past.

"Two Saudis and one Yemeni, each located in Camp 1, were found unresponsive and not breathing in their cells by guards," said a statement issued by Joint Task Force-Guantanamo on Saturday.

"Medical teams responded quickly and all three detainees were provided immediate emergency medical treatment in attempts to revive them. The three detainees were pronounced dead by a physician after all lifesaving measures had been exhausted," the statement said.

"This was clearly a planned event, not a spontaneous event," said Rear Adm. Harry Harris, commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo.

He added that there is a "mythical belief" that the Guantanamo detention center would be shut down if three detainees die.

Personally, I hink we need to issue every one of these terrorist swine a six-foot length of rope, and require that US troops wear gloves and provide it with an honor guard like they do for Korans. Guards should be strictly forbiddent to damage the rope -- including by cutting down any prisoner who chooses to hang himself. After all, we wouldn't want to violate the right of any of these prisoners to end their own lives -- and since self-detonation is religious ritual for them, we would simply be accommodating their faith while ensuring the safety of others. Call me pro-religious freedom and pro-choice.

And besides -- if they all kill themselves, then we can shut down the Gitmo camps. Wouldn't that make the Left and the "international community" happy and excited to the point of orgasm?
