Host Debbie Elliott recaps reaction to Saturday's news of the suicide of three detainees at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: In Washington and around the world, there's sure to be more talk about the three suicide deaths reported yesterday at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay.</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: Senator Specter, whose voice we just heard, told CNN that Guantanamo terrorism suspects must be tried. Some of them, he said, are being held on, quote, "the flimsiest of hearsay."</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: Here's what Britain's Constitutional Affairs Minister Harriet Harman had to say about the U.S. holding prisoners at Guantanamo.</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: Ms. HARRIET HARMAN(ph) (Constitutional Affairs Minister, Britain): If it's perfectly legal and there's nothing going wrong there, well, why don't they have it in America? And then the American court system can supervise it?</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: I mean the problem is that it's in Guantanamo and it's in a legal no man's land.</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: Britain, America's closest ally, has urged the United States to close down the camp.</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: A lawyer for Saudi nationals detained there says he holds U.S. authorities responsible for the deaths. Two of the men who committed suicide were Saudi nationals. A spokesman says the Saudi Interior Ministry will step up efforts to repatriate its citizens from Guantanamo. He says they will face prosecution under Saudi law.</s>DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: Colleen Graffy, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, calls the suicides, quote, "a good P.R. move to draw attention." She says the detainees don't value their own life and they certainly don't value ours.
