Pentagon officials still havent come to grips with over 100 of the 166 detainees at Guantanamo Bay being on a hunger strike, but theyre getting closer, recognizing 52 strikers as of today, adding that 15 are currently being force-fed.
Allegations that they believe the strikers are secretly snacking when no one is looking are getting harder and harder to claim, with troops attacking the camp last weekend and forcing everyone into solitary confinement.
The Pentagon is continuing to defend the attack, saying prisoners were refusing to obey the militarys orders and have a sense that they are entitled to an overabundence of things.
Primary among the detainees excessive demands appear to be believing they ought to be released when exonerated of all charges. They have also complained about having religious materials arbitrarily confiscated and lack of access to their lawyers.

Pentagon Admits to Growing Gitmo Hunger Strike, More Force-Feedings -- News from Antiwar.com
So not only are they guilty even when proven innocent, but they can't even decide whether or not they want to eat. Guantanamo Bay will go down as one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history.

Sort of hard to blame this on Bush at this point. Obama did promise he was going to close it... Before he was elected the first time.

Do we respect an individual's decision to end their own lives or not? This is so hypocritical. They should absolutely not be force fed. This is a country that encourages people to end their lives by starvation. It is in every living will. It's how Terri Schiavo died and the decision wasn't made by her but on her behalf by her killer.
These men should be allowed to make their own decisions. If they wish to starve to death, they should be allowed to do so.

Proven innocent? Please explain.
How many Americans ever went on a hunger strike at the "Hanoi Hilton"? Think about it before you engage in a emotion based argument aimed at the low information libs.
