Reader comment on item: Is the Blind Sheikh Trying to Die?

Perhaps the blind sheikh has "...diabetes, hepatitis, gall stones, artery disease and high blood pressure " because of a lifetime of poor dietary choices, choices he is continuing in incarceration. This seems to be a more plausible explanation than him slowly committing suicide by ingesting hamburgers from the commissary.
