The suicides of three detainees at the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, amount to acts of war, the US military says.
The camp commander said the two Saudis and a Yemeni were “committed” and had killed themselves in “an act of asymmetric warfare waged against us”.
I thought it was meant to be the British who were the country you embarrassed into losing. To admit this as a viable tactic of warfare is incredible.
Michael Bentine had a sketch about a kamikaze being debriefed after having unsuccessfully flown several; it turned out that he was planning to land on a carrier and commit hara-kiri “to make the enemy feel sorry, Sir”.
Later, Monty Python came up with the suicide squad in The Life of Brian.
And now, the US Military.
What is going to be the next horrifying tactic of terrorism? Co-dependence?
“They made us invade Afghanistan for their own good, we couldn’t help ourselves ?”
