User:Geo Swan/working/Suicides attempts by Guantanamo detainees

I started this subpage a long time ago, before I knew it was possible to simply move subpages in user space to article space. I started an article, in article space, based on this subpage. I could request {{db-author}} on this. Alternately I believe it is not unreasonable for me to request a history merge. I will soon request a history merge.

United States spokesmen say there have been just 41 Suicides attempts by Guantanamo detainees. Critics say there have been many times more suicide attempts, and that camp authorities have taken the bureaucratic measure of labeling those attempts as "self-injurious behavior", so they could under-report the number of suicide attempts.
