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.

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

Only half?
I guess it’s a good start.

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.

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.
