State Department Tries to Distance Itself From Guantanamo Remark

The State Department attempted to distance itself Monday from one of its own officials, who called the suicides of three detainees at the US terror prison "a good PR move to draw attention." "I would not characterize it as a PR stunt," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Monday in reply to a reporter's question at the daily news briefing. "We have serious concern any time anybody takes their own life." The military said none of the three men who killed themselves had lawyers, and none had been charged with war crimes.
