During his time in captivity, the weight of the 55-year-old Egyptian has nearly doubled, reaching more than 420 pounds at one point

Details about the condition of El-Sawah, who has admitted being an al-Qaida explosives trainer but is no longer facing charges, are emerging in a series of recently filed court motions that provide a rare glimpse into the health of an unusual prisoner,
There's also a Pakistani prisoner, Saifullah Paracha, with a heart condition serious enough that the government brought a surgical team and a mobile cardiac lab to the U.S. base in Cuba to treat him, at a cost of $400,000. He ultimately refused the treatment because he didn't trust military medical personnel.

When they threaten to blow themselves up, they ain’t kidding.
America is so great, we extend the welfare state to cover our enemies.
Hunger Fast protester Drop out...
Obama's "Final Solution" ought to fix the problem post haste.
So why do they keep over-feeding this moozlum pig (ironic...no?)?
“al-Qaida explosives trainer “ and we are supposed to feel sorry for him?!
Don’t feed the SOB for a couple of months, He will slim right down.

LMAO!
Jared from Subway needs to make a surprize visit.
So he is going to die, maybe those terrorists on a hunger strike can.......oh never mind
EL Shamu!

Looks like Guantanamo is no a prison for terrorists, but a luxury class hotel.
$400,000? How many disabled veterans monthly payments do you suppose that would’ve covered?
