"I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us."
- Rear Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, commenting on the suicides of three prisoners there. A New York Times editorial reports that there have been 23 suicide attempts in the four years of the camp's existence, and that only 10 of the 465 people held there have been charged with crimes.
"If it's perfectly legal and there's nothing going wrong there - well, why don't they have it in America ... ?"
- Harriet Harman, U.K. constitutional affairs minister, advocating the Guantanamo Bay prison be put under U.S. court supervision or closed.
