what?

Yahoo.com reports this story....

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A Saudi Arabian detainee at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay apparently committed suicide Wednesday, the U.S. military said.

The detainee was found unresponsive in his cell by guards in the afternoon, the military said in a statement from U.S. Southern Command, which oversees the military prison on the U.S. Naval Base in southeast Cuba. Attempts to revive him were not successful, it said.

It was the fourth suicide at Guantanamo since the prison camp opened in January 2002. On June 10, 2006, two Saudi detainees and one Yemeni hanged themselves with sheets.

Unresponsive? What does that mean, exactly?

"Hey Joe Bob, this dude is dead."

"Right. Must have killed himself."

I've been 'unresponsive' in the morning when the alarm plays in my ear. My children have been 'unresponsive' when I ask them to do something. The Bush Administration is 'unresponsive'...can I call them dead by suicide? Just wondering.
