Horton asserts that, according to interviews he conducted with four former camp guards, the three detainees reported by the military on June 10, 2006 as having [[Guantanamo suicide attempts|committed suicide]]

In February 2010, [[Brent Mickum]], the lawyer for [[Shaker Aamer]], a detainee who is a British resident, said his client had described suffering torture at a separate location outside the regular cellblock on the night in June 2006 when the other detainees died.

| quote=Shaker Aamer’s role in this story — which appears to involve a chilling and far-reaching cover-up — concerns statements he made to his lawyers, describing how, on the night that the three men died with gags stuffed in their mouths, he too was gagged and beaten so mercilessly that he was lucky to survive.
