I wonder what would happen if the pro-lifers sat around a table and put their heads and their hearts into finding a just way out of this one:

Defense attorneys said the death was likely an act of desperation at a prison camp where detainees are denied access to U.S. civilian courts and isolated in their cells for up to 22 hours a day.

''You have five and a half years of desperation there with no legal way out,'' said Michael Ratner, president of the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights. ''Sadly, it leads to people being so desperate they take their own lives.''

Marc Falkoff, who is part of a team of attorneys representing 17 men from Yemen, said the suicide should be expected given the conditions at Guantanamo.

''We've said all along that the guys are going to try to take their lives and that appears to be what happened here,'' Falkoff said. ''It's just incredibly sad and it wouldn't happen if these guys were just given their day in court.''

A cultural adviser was helping the military handle the remains. ''The remains of the deceased detainee are being treated with the utmost respect,'' the military said.

Nevermind Kansas, there's never a point of no return; in fact, it's all a return really.*
