aka, how to make Muslim foie gras

[CosmicCowboy]

LOL

maybe the stupid fucks will realize their hunger strike is pointless. If they don't start eating quit lubing the tubes.

Personally I'm pretty sure if it was my call I would just let them die. They are voluntarily killing themselves.

[Wild Cobra]

Yep.

Just let them die.

After being imprisoned for a decade for committing no crimes, they should have the right to kill themselves if Obama and congress are gonna keep them imprisoned. Force feeding has been declared torture on several occasions, and what we're doing at Gitmo is no exception.

Committing no crimes??? Do you mean charged?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Committing no crimes??? Do you mean charged?

If "being a Muslim in Afghanistan" is a crime, then I guess the prisoners in Gitmo committed one.

lol tea baggers condoning unconstitutional torture

[sjacquemotte]

:lmao ugh ok. I guess we need forensic detectives at the battle field so we can charge enemies fighting against the US.
So should we just sue China for violating US Constitutional rights?
is holding POW's torture?


It almost makes sense that you have such a low opinion of America's fighting force, with how you feel we should fight a war.

In the first known rebellion against Guantánamo’s force-feeding policy, a Navy medical officer recently refused to continue managing tube-feedings of prison hunger strikers and was reassigned to “alternative duties.”



Word of the refusal reached the outside world last week in a call from prisoner Abu Wael Dhiab to attorney Cori Crider of the London-based legal defense group Reprieve. Dhiab, a hunger striker, described how a nurse in the Navy medical corps abruptly refused to “force-feed us” sometime before the Fourth of July — and disappeared from detention center duty.


Crider called the nurse, a man, the first known U.S. military conscience objector of the 18-month-long hunger strike (http://www.miamiherald.com/static/media/projects/gitmo_chart/) in the prison camps, and said his dissent took “real courage." Dhiab (http://media.mcclatchydc.com/smedia/2011/04/27/19/us9le-000722dp.source.prod_affiliate.91.pdf), 43, is challenging Guantánamo force-feeding policy in federal court. A Syrian who was cleared for transfer from Guantánamo in 2010 but who can’t be repatriated because of unrest in his homeland, has been an on-again, off-again hunger striker to protest his indefinite detention

Last year, civilian doctors decried as unethical the Guantánamo military medical staff’s practice of force-feeding mentally competent hunger strikers in a commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine — and urged a medical mutiny (http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/06/12/3447980/medical-ethicists-say-stop-guantanamo.html).

Guantánamo currently has 149 detainees, an unknown number of them on hunger strike under a blackout (http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/12/03/3795285/guantanamo-ends-daily-hunger-strike.html) imposed by U.S. Southern Command in December after nine months of daily disclosure (http://www.miamiherald.com/static/media/projects/gitmo_chart/). The prison has a 147-member medical staff, “of which 83 are responsible for direct detainee care,” Gresback said

Attorneys for a longtime hunger-striker at Guantanamo Bay said today that refusing food is his only means of peaceful protest and asked a federal judge to stop his jailers from punishing him by being cruel in their application of force-feeding techniques.Abu Wa’el Dhiab’ (http://www.reprieve.org.uk/cases/abuwaeldhiab/)s court case is being carefully watched because U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler ruled on Friday (https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/10/03/judge-orders-government-release-videos-guantanamo-force-feedings/) that videos of Dhiab’s force-feeding – which involves the repeated insertion and removal of a rubber tube up his nose – should be publicly released.


But the only showing of the videos today was behind closed doors, as the Justice Department continues to wrangle over how and when to release them.


In a short closed session, Sondra Crosby, a Boston University medical professor who examined Dhiab on behalf of his legal team, was shown a few minutes of footage and asked her medical opinion.



Attorneys for the Justice Department said they have stopped forcibly extracting Dhiab from his cell, and are no longer denying him use of a wheelchair. Afterwards, all she would say was that the footage was “disturbing.”


Cori Crider, an attorney at the human-rights group Reprieve who is part of Dhiab’s legal team, said releasing the videos would show the public that abuse at Guantanamo is not a thing of the past. “The main reason to see this is because there’s pretty shocking stuff happening now,” she said.https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/10/06/guantanamo-video-called-disturbing/

Fox News report uncovers ‘diversity of thought’ at Harvard: They all ‘blame America’

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/fox_ff_caleb_harvard_141009a-800x430.jpg

Caleb Bonham, a reporter for a group dedicated to opposing campus liberalism, told Fox News on Thursday that he had investigated Harvard University students and come the the “concerning” conclusion that they were “listening to what they are learning in class.” :lol

This student’s answer was typical of the responses Campus Reform published:

American interests and our protection of oil interests in the Middle East are destabilizing the region, and are allowing groups like ISIS to gain power.

During a segment titled “Trouble With Schools” on Thursday, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade noted that “people are stunned” after seeing the Campus Reform video.

Bonham admitted that he had to edit out a few people who said that ISIS was a bigger threat that the U.S., :lol “but then I was shocked to see that student after student, as we continued our interviews, found ways to blame America.”
