The U.S. military says just over half of the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay are on hunger strike. …

Army Lt. Col. Samuel House says 16 of the 84 prisoners are being force-fed and five have been hospitalized. He says none of the hospitalized men have life-threatening conditions. …

Good- now maybe we can afford to give our seniors here at hoem the cost of livign increase they’ve been denied for 3 years since we’ll be saving all that money on food to feed those who want us dead

Makes me think of a Woody Allen movie, but can’t recall which one.

“Prisoners received only one hot meal a day.....a bowl of steam.”

Only half?

I guess it’s a good start.

Is it Ramadan already?

Lot of very funny comments on this thread already! The Sequester did it someone wrote LMAO.

It's their choice to eat or not, if they pass away then it was their choice.

But do present them daily with a smorgasbord of Southern hospitality foods, smothered pork chops, crown roast, Jimmy Dean or Earl Campbell sausages, green beans with bacon drippings etc. etc.. I'm sure other FReepers can suggest even more tempting fare.

Well, back in 2011 the number was one in five. Number has only gone up since then.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Let the bastards die. We need room for Obama, Axelod, Jarrett, Holder, Perez, Brenner, Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Panetta and Dempsey, for starts.

Went to the link to confirm a short news item with the text squeezed to make it look longer.

So predictable from the 0bama press.
