There are lots of vultures at GITMO. I bet they're starting to circle the camp.

I say this could save us a bunch of money, not to mention freeing up needed space.

Well, then they won't need to use the toilet, and hence, will not be shocked by finding a Koran in proximity.

We are cruel if we force feed them, we are cruel if we let them starve. The media is going to love this.

Hey boys, watch it - no virgins unless you are killed by infidels or die killing infidels.

I'd like to see ALL of you bastards on a hunger strike. I think that WE should put you on a hunger strike, whether you want to or not.

You're eating too much as it is. Nothing pisses me off like a raghead terrorist getting fat on my tax dollar.
