WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Guantanamo Bay prisoner staged a fake suicide attempt to draw U.S. troops into a room where they were attacked by other prisoners, military leaders at the camp told reporters Friday.

U.S. troops used rubber bullets and a sponge grenade to subdue the prisoners, who were armed with improvised weapons such as sticks, light fixtures and parts of fans.

Find the weight per round and figure out how many they're getting per $25, then decide if you can still complain or not.

Should have used real bullets. Two birds, one stone.
keep in mind that we have no idea whether the prisoners involved are actually terrorists or not.
Didn't you get the memo? It's "Guilty until proven Innocent" now.
