#1 It's a minor procedure done thousands of times a day in hospitals...

brisket/belly opened up twice for infected wounds, fed thru tube for awhile, annoying somewhat but no big deal.

pain meds for that procedure. LOL

#2 New details have emerged of how the growing number of prisoners on hunger strike at GuantÃ¡namo Bay are being tied down and force-fed

And just why are they being fed against their wishes? Let them starve. I'm afraid Gitmo is becoming a pimple on the ass of the United States, all for the wrong reasons.

#6 To read the article it sounds like torture. This guy should write horror novels. We should take all these so called journalists to other prisons and detention camps to see what real horror looks like. They don't even have to leave the island, if they have even ever been to Cuba. We should take all the food, they wont eat, and put it at the gate for the Cubans. With any luck within a year the Taliban and AQ will be dead and we will have started a crisis for ol Fidel.

They'll complain if we force feed the terrorists, and they'll complain if we don't.

#8 Stop the media attention of all of this crap. And stop feeding them if they truly want to die.
Any one of these guys would probably kill you if they ever have the opportunity to do so.

#9 I would be much happier if they were fed through anal tubes, lubrificated with bacon fat, but that's just my immature poop-centered personality speaking...

#10 Were they caught with weapons in their hands? If so, there should be a simple procedure: verify they were terrorist combattants (NOT military combattants, but terrorists), and if so, hang them. Dump their bodies in the Caribbean for the sharks to eat. Once all the prisoners are no longer being held at Gitmo, close the place down, raze it to the ground, salt the earth, and give it back to Castro. All future terrorists we catch, we treat the same way WITHIN 30 DAYS. No more "detention". Do what we should have done from the first - wring 'em dry, then hang 'em.

#12 OP - as long as it's a sharp stick in Fidel's and Raul's eyes, we should keep Gitmo. In fact, it could become the new Vieques :-)

#13 Why is this happening? Last I heard, suicide isn't illegal, so if these degenerates want to starve, let them.
