BBC:
William Goodman from the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights told AFP news agency the three dead men were "heroes for those of us who believe in basic American values of justice, fairness and democracy". Mr Goodman, whose organisation represents some 300 detainees, said the government had denied them that.
HEROES?! THEY MIGHT AS WELL CALL THEM MARTYRS OR SHAHIDS.
HIS CHARACTERIZATION IS RIDICULOUS. THESE TERRORISTS DO NOT BELIEVE IN HUMAN RIGHTS. THEY EPITOMIZE THE OPPOSITE OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
THESE DETAINEES WERE NON-UNIFORMED ENEMY COMBATANTS FROM 3RD PARTY COUNTRIES WHO ARE NOT ENTITLED TO GENEVA TREATY RIGHTS.

BESIDES THAT, POW'S ARE NOT ENTITLED TO LAWYERS; THEY MAY BE LEGALLY HELD UNTIL THE END OF HOSTILITIES. THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN IN EVERY PREVIOUS WAR.

Congress has never declared war and you can bet more governments witnessing this brutality will decrease their co-operation with the Bush regieme's interminable holding without charge a group of people independent rights groups have estimated more than half of which are innocent.
