Guantanamo Bay

US Now Force-Feeding Guantanamo Hunger Strikers :

"The military is tube-feeding more than a dozen of the 89 terror suspects on hunger strike at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, a U.S. military spokesman said Friday. Maj. Weir said most of the strikers were in good health, but medics were treating 15 and 13 of those were being fed through tubes."

Hunger striking is a slow suicide. Despair has obviously set in and people would rather die than stay there. These people have been locked up through hurricanes as well as everything else. They are persona non grata and some believe that's okay because they wouldn't be there in the first place if they'd been good. Right? There are 520 prisoners from 40 countries mostly captured in Afghanistan. More than 230 prisoners have been released to the custody of their own countries, but still this situation goes on where people are imprisoned because and then just left for years and years. Like our Baxter detention centre. 76 of them have had enough. No one seems to know why they are on a hunger strike. They have been left, there is no way out, there is no learning curve, no growth. It's decay so they are responding to it. How much does it cost to keep them there and what can be done to change this situation?
