To not do so is to deny them their religious and cultural rights. It is their intrinsic belief to die serving their cause and immediately claim their reward in the hereafter. Us preventing them from doing so is more than bad, it is an international crime! CALL THE ACLU NOW! DEMAND the detainee's right to suicide be respected and enabled!!!

Exactly WHY are we trying to stop international criminals with a suicidal mindset from succeeding in fulfilling their dreams of dying for their cause? As long as they aren't trying to take any of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen or Marines with them when they try to kill themselves, I'm in favor of allowing them to succeed. Under Maslow's hierarchy of human motivation, self actualization (being all that you can be) is the single strongest motivating factor in human psychology. With that in mind, if they feel they'll be self actualized by becoming worm food, I'm all in favor of allowing them to become all that they wish to be. To do otherwise would be to deprive them of their right to self actualize and thereby be violating their human rights. I'm just waiting for the ACLU to sue for the Gitmo detainees to have the right to commit suicide as a protected form of free expression guaranteed them under the first amendment.
