Two Afghans released Wednesday from detention in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba claimed that about 180 other Afghans held at the US detention facility were on a hunger strike to protest alleged mistreatment and to push for their release.
A US military spokesman at Guantanamo did not immediately respond to an e-mail request for comment.

Starvation is bliss anyway right? That's what the Nu Yawk Times told me after the Shiavo episode.
The latest tool in the Terrorist arsenal "Suicide Starvers"! Oh! The Humanity!
not liking the glazed chicken and steamed mushrooms and peas? too bad. let them starve to death.
The guards should lock them all in their cells, turn off the air conditioning and just leave for a two week vacation somewhere. By the time they get back, this problem will have solved itself.
Hey, it worked for all those inconvenient old people in France a couple summers ago.
Why didn't I think of this before. I've just decided that instead of filibusters of judicial nominees, hunger strikes should be required instead!
What? Rejecting "Noodles Jefferson", rice pilaf, and lemon baked fish? Don't they know there are children starving overseas? Oh yeah, that was them 10 years ago.
Good. Let them starve. I don't like that my tax money goes to keep these vermin alive anyway. When are we going to start putting these low lives in front of the fire squads they've so richly earned?? Oh wait, Senator Dick Durbinladen will be devastated to see his Al qaeda dreamboats sent back to Allah. He might even compare the US to Stalinist Russia if we do.
This is easy to fix. Start roasting some lamb, or better yet falafel meat, on an open spit, bake some flatbread, and cook up some baklawa (honey pastry). The smell alone will drive at least some of these idiots to break their "strike".
Supposedly, the smell of baking bread can trigger hunger, something to do with the specific way the odor particles interact with the brain. It's nothing to do with the actual smell, apparently it works on any physically normal human (not sure about those with actual eating disorders, but it apparently does ignore culture lines, and works even on those who don't bake western-style bread).
I wouldnt be so sure..they may have nightime snacking priveledges.
or an extra potatoe. (hehe)
Look at the money we're saving!
"Prisoners At Guantanamo Bay On Hunger Strike "
And when this doesn't work, these terrorist animals will be encouraged to riot. And when our boys are forced to shoot their stinking asses down in self-defense, the GD media, islamomonkeys and liberal bastards will start screeching about "American brutality."
Good. Give them a week and they'll start eating one another.
Who wants seconds on the pork chops?
North Korean propaganda film backfires with hungry audiences
Posted on 07/07/2005 1:47:24 PM EDT by LibWhacker
SEOUL — A North Korean propaganda film about the repatriation of a spy — Lee In-Mo — who had languished for years in a South Korean prison may have a short shelf life, according to defectors now living in the South.
"What we could not believe in the movie was that Lee and others were conducting hunger strikes in the prison," said one defector about the movie.
"Refusing to eat was a form of resistance in the South? Boy, South Korea must be a paradise. That's what we said among ourselves"
[snip]
Many North Korean defectors said their first reaction upon seeing the film was to ask how people could stay in prison for more than 10 years and remain alive? They say few people survive even three years in North Korean political prisons. Being fed three regular meals a day is utterly unimaginable.
Rush just said they've been eating so well, its probably just an attempt to lose weight!
ROTFLMAO. nice!
When you drive them into breaking their "strike' - they should be still kept on it, and not fed anyway. Only high value detainees should be fed, and only for as long as they remain high value detainees, otherwise it will get cost-prohibitive.
I support their hungry strike 100%! Let the terrorist starve, if they so wish.
