Terrible story from todays guardian: Killing themselves was unnecessary. But it certainly is a good PR move. Oddly enough I don't see this in the blogosphere... maybe because there isn't much else to say. Or people are too busy with the football?

I didn't march for science; I was busy running the Head of the Cam (in something of a turn-up for the books, Nines won, in only a tiny fraction over 9 mins, a good time; Jesus were three seconds slower and in a welcome return to form Caius were only a second slower than that; it promises well for…
The last little while has seen an amazing proliferation of science blogging communities. Scientopia, Guardian Science Blogs and PLoS Blogs are only the three most recent that I know of.
I think it's great -- the more the merrier I say. Of course, as networks take up more and more space in the…
I wrote this post in 2008, which was one of my worst gardening years ever - I made the insane mistake of setting the deadline for _A Nation of Farmers_ for June 1, which meant I spent most of the planting season in front of my computer. But I knew I wasn't the only one, and I've come to worry a…
This week's Short Story Club story is "The Heart of a Mouse" by K. J. Bishop, from Subterranean Press (which means I'm faintly surprised not to have to pay $15 for it). I recognize Bishop's name, and think I have a copy of The Etched City upstairs that I've never gotten around to reading, but don't…

Maybe it's because everyone thinks the Bush administration is so unspeakably crass that they can't think of anything to say...
Hmmm.
You must have gotten off the HuffPo list. They led with the story today.
So how did you do it? For some reason, I'm now on it.
[Ha ha. Maybe I subscribed you :-). I couldn't get off, but I did get into my account and changed the email address to a junk one... -W]
I had heard of the deaths, but not the charming comments from the defenders of the Free World.
Considering that only about half the inmates have any alledged connection at all to Al Queda, forget any proven connection, this just gets more sickening by the day.
If America wasn't the Land of the Brave, those Prisoners With Bedsheets would have us so terrified we'd be running around like chickens with our heads cut off ...
Another point you can be sure the rightwingnuts won't focus on is the fact that one of the three was already scheduled for release (but no-one had told him).
It's the sort of thing you would expect to see in The Onion.. I'm sure, of course, that Bush and Blair will demonstrate their resolve and stength by striking back in the same manner.
