I find this next article very interesting: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4774566.stm

There are two main reasons... The first the composed and articulate writing and, it seems, attitude of the suspected terrorist, in this case British born Islam converted Feroz Abbasi. The second is the attitude of the military judge, unnamed, which said, quote, "I don't care about international law. I don't want to hear the word International Law again" and denied the accused all requests. Also interesting is the fact that most "evidence" presented is secret. Talk about your "disclosure"right here... Anyway a good read...

And to top it off add this to the mix: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5068606.stm. Rear Admiral Harris, the Guantanamo camo commander, seems to believe that deaths, by suicide, are acts of asymetric warfare. Come on, I can see the martyr argument in full effect here, but I strongly believe that man can only take his life if he is overcome with despair. I mean, these people could have died on the battlefield or could try and live to fight the Americans they so hate. Yet, they choose suicide. And an American commander belives this is an act of war...

On a side note, what is Islam's view on suicide?

PS: I see the last bit is allready covered so please let's stick to the first article for discussion. But I still want to know the Islamic view on suicide...
