ArizonaDailyStar: "Arizona Sen. John McCain received a cantankerous reception during his appearance at the New School commencement Friday, where dozens of faculty members and students turned their backs and raised signs in protest and a distinguished student speaker pointedly mocked him as he sat silently nearby.

LATimes: "The Motion Picture Assn. of America has censored a poster advertising a film about the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
It appeared in advertisements for the new film The Road to Guantanamo, a documentary with some reenacted scenes that follows the fate of three British men imprisoned at Guantanamo for more than two years. Eventually they were released, with no charges ever filed against them."
LATimes: "Four terrorism suspects at the sprawling prison network here attempted suicide Thursday, and detainees at a camp for the most compliant prisoners attacked guards with improvised weapons when the guards tried to rescue a man attempting to hang himself, a spokesman for the U.S. military-run prison said.
A mass hunger strike last autumn at one point involved about 130 prisoners until camp medics intervened with force-feedings."
DearKitty: "The United Nations Committee against Torture has called on the United States Bush administration to close down Guantanamo Bay camp and other torture centers."
