Apparently Harry Potter DVDs and Halal meals aren’t enough. Club Gitmo is stepping up its game hoping for five-star status in the Dubai Time Out guidebook.
The Pentagon is considering plans for a $150 million overhaul of the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The proposed spending spree comes amid mounting signs of unrest among Guantanamo detainees that lawyers say is threatening their lives.
U.S. military officials confirmed Wednesday that the number of hunger strikers at Guantanamo has more than tripled in the last two weeks — from 7 to 25 — and that eight of them are being force fed through tubes. Defense lawyers said in a letter to Congress this week they have gotten reports that “over two dozen men have lost consciousness.”
Some might say that’s a budget death penalty. Not that any of them are actually going to starve to death. They just know the odds of being released, just like their comrades, increases if they put on a show for Obama Inc.
“They had great optimism that Guantanamo would be closed,” said Gen.

The program is known as GitMore at Gitmo. For bomb makers it will be called A Room With a Boom.
As long as you support gay marriage, abortion, and hate on Christians, you can do whatever else you want without hearing a word.
he’s spending our money only because he’s rewarding some big donor with a nice contract...
A cement wall and a box or two of ammo is cheaper. When are we going to stop pretending that these people won’t kill every American that they can the minute they let them out.
They tell us they want to kill all of us and I believe them. We might as well be proactive instead of having another 9/11 on our hands.
But he’s too broke to let the school kids tour the White House during their spring break trips. What a worm.
The same ones who screamed about gas prices and foreign wars?
Obama “sympathizes”.
If they want to go on a hunger strike, let them.
Just making an upgrade so it will be more liveable for he and Moooshelle’s arrival for their permanent “residence”!!!
The schools in Chicago are closing.
No money, they say.
But, there is money for Obama’s terrorist friends
and supporters and any mosque, worldwide.

Americans
