Gitmo

It is the hope of just about every fair-minded American that Barack Obama will stop the torture of prisoners and close Guantanamo Bay shortly after noon tomorrow. Even the prisoners in the island prison are aware of what's going on and are letting their feelings be known. From Times Online...

Nearly a fifth of the detainees held at Guantánamo Bay have gone on hunger strike with the aim of attracting the attention of Barack Obama, military officials have told The Times. Most of them are being force-fed.

Of the 248 inmates inside the detention facility, 44 are refusing food — but 33 of those are receiving nutrition with tubes that are forced up their noses and into their stomachs.
