A man jailed in the US for trying to blow up an airliner with explosives hidden in his shoes has gone on hunger strike, court papers have revealed. Briton Richard Reid is said to have been refusing food for several weeks and is being force-fed and hydrated. Reid, 35, is currently taking legal action against prison restrictions which, he says, prevent him from practising his Sunni Muslim faith. He is serving three life sentences at the Supermax prison in Colorado.

yawn
Hydrate him on the water board.
It’s his party and he can starve if he wants to.
He has my support. LOL
Not sure if I understand what the problem is...?
(Maybe they could use fruit juice or something instead of water? So he gets some vitamins too...)
So????
So?
Give him a bag of pork rinds for each meal. Take them away after an hour. Repeat.
and we should give a rat’s ass because? Send his food to the starving children in crapholeastan.
"We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid ...
"You’re a big fellow. But you’re not that big. You’re no warrior. I know warriors....
You are a terrorist, a species of criminal guilty of multiple attempted murders."
To call you a soldier gives you far too much stature.
You are a terrorist, and we do not negotiate with terrorists.
We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice. ...
"See that flag, Mr. Reid?
That is the flag of the United States of America
That flag will fly there long after this is long forgotten."
[Federal Chief Judge William Young, First Circuit to Terrorist Shoebomber Reid]
NOW:
Yep. There's a lawyer for everything.. This guy was going to kill a plane load of innocent people, including probably children. Did he care about their rights? It galls me to have his brand of hate labeled ‘faith’. Radical Muslims of his ilk have no understanding of the God they think guides their actions.
We should send him tons of emails in support of his singular dedication and intestinal fortitude...:)
Thanks.
Okay.
Starve!
