Suicides prompt new calls to shut Guantanamo

Colleen Graffy, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for public diplomacy, told the BBC World Service the suicides were a "good PR move to draw attention."

"It does sound that this is part of a strategy in that they don't value their own life and they certainly don't value ours and they use suicide bombings as a tactic to further their Jihadi cause," she said.

Graffy coordinates efforts with Karen Hughes, a former top aide to
President George W. Bush who is now a special envoy charged with trying to improve the U.S. image abroad, especially in Islamic countries.

1. How sad the bushbots refuse to honor Islam life

No wonder Hughes was rejected by the Islam countries. The GOP idiots.

2. Well, the GOP could use some good PR about now...

...maybe they can all...but no, that would be wrong to say. Never mind.

3. Guess she takes compassion lessons from Dimson.

5. And "PR" lessons from Ann Coulter and Atilla the Hun

4. We have "act of war" vs. "good PR move"

Three human beings, abused and kept in prison without a trial thousands of miles away from their homes, allowed no family contact and very little legal recourse for over three fucking years commit suicide in a final act of desperation ... and members of the necrophiliac Bushoilini cabal can only blame them.

6. Pretty poor example of Christianity

Isn't it?
