observations from a window seat in the handbasket headed for hell
A Guantanamo detainee has died in what the military are calling an "apparent suicide" -- and civil liberties groups are calling for action.[...]
Al-Hanashi, a Yemeni, had been held without charge at Gitmo since February 2002. Medical records released previously indicate that at one stage he joined a long-running hunger strike to protest his confinement. In December 2005, he weighed about 86 pounds.
