In documents they filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, government lawyers argued that three inmates who committed suicide last month by hanging themselves coordinated their actions by using attorney-client confidentiality to communicate with each other. Government officials said that among papers marked "Attorney Client Privilege" were instructions on how to tie knots and a classified memo on camp activities and inmate locations.
Attorney-Client privilege was used by government lawyers to assist inmates in committing suicide.
Government lawyers were arguing that the inmates used their lawyers to assist in committing suicide. The government lawyers themselves did not do this.
