Mohammed El Gharani, our client at Reprieve, was only 14 when he was seized in a mosque in Pakistan. He was only 15 when he arrived in Guant�namo Bay. Already twice this year he has tried to kill himself, once by hanging, once by slitting his wrists. Let us pray there is movement by the US to finally do justice, before Mohammed, truly only a child, or anyone else in Guant�namo Bay commits suicide.

Just wait. I bet that in a couple of years, the US government will say, "We have no children detained at Guantanamo." Rolling Eyes

As the three recent suicides at Guantanamo have shown, our enemy is even more devious and ruthless than we supposed:

Military officials on Saturday suggested that the three suicides were a form of a coordinated protest.

�They are smart, they are creative, they are committed,� Admiral Harris said. �They have no regard for life, neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us.

But this doesn�t exhaust the asymmetric tactics they�ve adopted. Reliable sources indicate our terrorist foes are also using these even more appalling methods to attack us:

1. Crying
2. Begging for Mercy
3. Getting Tuberculosis
4. Forcing Us To Torture Them
5. Not Being A Terrorist
6. Being Four Years Old
