The Gitmo “Suicides”

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


Kevin already addressed this on his blog, but if you haven’t read Scott Horton’s latest story on the Gitmo “suicides,” you should. In December, I wrote about a Seton Hall report that hinted that three detainee suicides at Guantanamo Bay in 2006 weren’t actually suicides. Now Horton has on-the-record sources suggesting that the detainees were killed in a previously undisclosed off-site facility called “Camp No,” and the murders were covered-up. In any sane media environment, this would be front-page news everywhere, and a congressional investigation would already have been launched. Anyway, read it.
