This really would make the most sense. If the first "attempted suicide" really was an attempt to kill him then he knows his "status" changed to LIABILITY. GITMO is much better than the Hell which awaits him. He would have valuable info on the CIA/MOSSAD operation through the Maxwells and other agents. If he is "dead" already then the white hats have room to negotiate his life preservation on a Caribbean Island (not far from his Temple) where he can go waterboarding and look through his window at palm branches. How better a way to spirit him out of a NYC prison hole.
