#2 Fix bayonets on their ass, see how much they like that shit. After their ringleader takes one through the running lights the rest will chill out most rik-tik. If not, then that's just less sand clowns the U.S. taxpayer has to house & feed.

#3 I detect a slight change in attitude JH. A little less tolerant of noble savages these days. Wonder why?

#4 sounds more like an aborted attempt to draw guards in and take hostages?

#5 Good call, Frank...

U.S. guards were lured Thursday evening into a dorm-like room at a minimum-security wing of the detention center by a detainee pretending to prepare to hang himself, said Navy Rear Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr.
The guards sought to save the detainee but were pounced on by others wielding broken light fixtures, fan blades and pieces of metal. The detainees were eventually subdued, and six were treated for "minor injuries," Harris said during a news conference.

Just "minor injuries"? that's too bad...

#10 More details...

"The detainees had slickened the floor of their block with feces, urine and soapy water in an attempt to trip the guards. They then assaulted the guards with broken light fixtures, fan blades and bits of metal," said Navy Rear Adm. Harry Harris, who commands the Guantanamo facility.

Army Col. Mike Bumgarner, in charge of detention operations, said detainees were jumping off beds on top of the guards and knocked some guards to the ground, adding: "Frankly we were losing the fight at that point."

The guards used pepper spray, then the shotgun that fired 18 small rubber balls and the M203 grenade launcher to gain control, U.S. officials said. The fighting lasted four to five minutes, they said.

Next time, use real grenades.
