Guantanamo Deaths in 2006 Won't Go Away http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=51699

But a report from Seton Hall University Law School, released last fall, cast doubt on almost every element of the U.S. military's story. It questioned, for example, how it would have been possible for the three detainees to have stuffed rags down their throats and then, while choking, managed to raise themselves up to a noose and hang themselves.

According to Hickman, it was generally believed among camp guards that the facility was used by the CIA. Hickman also said there was a van on site, referred to as the "paddy wagon", which was allowed to come in and out of the main detention area without going through the usual inspection. On the night of the three detainees' deaths, Hickman says he saw the paddy wagon leave the area where the three were being detained and head off in the direction of Camp No.

The paddy wagon, which can carry only one prisoner at a time in a cage in the back, reportedly made the trip three times.George Brent Mickum IV, an attorney who is currently handling a number of Guantanamo cases, told IPS, "There have been 100 deaths of detainees since 2006. Thirty-six of these have been declared homicides. Only one case has ever been prosecuted. The probable reason: The CIA is responsible for these deaths."
