An Act of Warfare?

Since when did a prisoner committing suicide become "an act of war"? The logic of such an allegation fairly boggles the mind. Of course, in this situation, perhaps we have a tacit admission that prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay are in fact Prisoners of War - and at least warrant being treated as human beings, not caged animals.

In the end of what is clearly an act of warfare, an autopsy is being performed on the remains al-Zarqawi. How significant are the details of how al-Zarqawi died, given the circumstances?

It amazes me that the United States can continue to brag about al-Zarqawi, but seems equally unwilling to examine its own treatment of prisoners that it is holding in Guantanamo Bay.
