Guards were preparing to serve the first in a series of special meals Wednesday to prisoners at Guantánamo Bay to mark the end of the Muslim holy period of Ramadan, which this year brought a lull in a long-running hunger strike.
The military planned to serve lamb, bread, dates and honey as the last daylight fasting period of Ramadan ends, followed by three traditional holiday dinners on Thursday, said a spokesman for the prison, Navy Capt.

Why not issue them all a nice new Cadillac CTS, a villa in Bermuda, a nice little store or other business and a new wardrobe? Oh, and don’t forget four appropriate wives, a houseful of Ethan Allen furniture and an EBT card.
we need to take our m-f country back.
Don’t close it Obama leave it open as a holiday resort - I’ll come for the meals and for the peace and quiet!
Give them bread and water. Make them watch our guys eat pork ribs.
We can't mention Jesus in the military or the gub'mint skuls yet we enable these savages to worship satan.
First they kill Americans in cowardly fashion, then we reward them with special meals and holidays.

Not for nothin' but the price of lamb is pretty high. We only serve it at home a couple times a year. These terrorists eat better than many Americans.
I'd feed them bacon and baloney sandwiches every day and if they have to have cable TV, it would show GEICO commercials featuring Maxwell the pig 24/7.
the substance of those hour-long prayers will be to ask allah to help muslims bring death on America and we will be paying for this feast
It has to be tough of these GIs guarding these goat humpers not to take a great big dump right in the mash potatoes and a whizz in the tea.
I know I would have a hard time not feed them a shit sandwhich.....
Self censored.
Feed ‘em lead!
Showing respect for Islam just serves to validate that their beliefs are valid and respectable. They are not. At best their form of islam is detestable and they should not be allowed to practice it.
