War Is Peace

George Orwell is spinning in his grave:

The suicides of three detainees at the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, amount to acts of war, the US military says.

[...]

They hanged themselves with clothing and bed sheets, camp commander Rear Adm Harry Harris said.

[...]

Rear Adm Harris said he did not believe the men had killed themselves out of despair.

"They are smart. They are creative, they are committed," he said.

"They have no regard for life, either ours or their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us."

There is no level to which they - and I'm referring to Rear Adm. Harris on up - will not stoop.
