Remember when Christopher Hitchens and "Mancow" requested to be waterboarded so that they could experience how unpleasant the whole sensation is?
Well, enter Actor and rapper Mos Def:
Rapper Mos Def, now known as Yasiin Bey, has been filmed being force fed to highlight the treatment of inmates Guantanamo Bay.Made in conjunction with human rights group Reprieve, the video is directed by Bafta award-winning film-maker Asif Kapadia and is released to coincide with build-up to the Islamic holy period of Ramadan, when inmates will be force fed after dark, in line with the rules of the month-long religious fast.
It shows the former rapper being force fed using the same method enacted by the US military on hunger striking detainees at the controversial prison.
During the four minute film, the former rapper is seen pleading for the doctors to stop as he becomes increasingly upset and agitated.
The video's release comes as a US federal judge ruled that she lacked the authority to halt the practice.
...Mediaite:
The act was in protest of the Obama administration’s decision to proceed with force-feeding during the month-long fast of Ramadan, which begins at today’s sunset.According to The Guardian, the U.S. government has decided to proceed with the force-feeding by doing it only at nighttime, respecting the daytime fast undertaken by Muslims during Ramadan.

Let them starve themselves to death. They pack them in salt pork fatback and bury them at sea.
stick one end down their throat and the other end up their butt...
Say, how come you just keep pimping this blog and never make a comment?
Let em eat pork.
Terri Schiavo(sp) was starved to death and supporters of that said it was an acceptable way for a disabled person to die.
So let the prisoners starve themselves.
This is silly. Put good food in front of them. Leave it there an hour. Pick up the dish. End. ( If they eat good. If they choose to not eat okay. ). Why is the media even writing all these handwringing articles? Barf.
let them starve. that way they go to pardise.
Absolutely agree. I have never understood the argument that we have to force-feed someone who voluntarily chooses to not eat — it is almost always for some political reason that they make the decision. Who am I to “judge”, right?
The same people fighting to feed these voluntary starving terrorists, are the ones who would give senile grandmas a permanent sleeping pill.
Here’s one strong vote for starve. Then feed the sharks.
Please don’t poison the sharks with raghead sh*t.
your point is amazingly pertinent, yes indeed some of the same poeple that want to forcefeed the terrorists also want to abort babies... and kill granny when she eats too much
it is a totally ‘anti-life’ attitude, for certain
