Its not an act of war, its an indictment of the Bush administration's human-rights record (according to Amnesty International).

There have been over 40 suicide attempts at Guantanamo.

Apparently these three had also been part of the hunger strike and had previously been force fed.

From Scotland on Sunday: "The military has at times used aggressive force-feeding methods, including a restraint chair. Force-feeding is performed through tubes inserted into the nose. Physicians for Human Rights has called on the US to halt the "brutal and inhumane force-feeding tactics".

Prisoners have been rioting and two prisoners tried to commit suicide by over-dosing on anti-depressants.

Two of the men who committed suicide were Saudis. The Saudi government is suggesting that these men may have been tortured.

Even Britain does not approve of Guantanamo.

These prisoners need access to lawyers and have the right to a trial. They have not been found guilty of anything.
