#2 his imprisonment for refusing to testify about Palestinian charities

If you only knew what you read in AP reports, you would have to assume the US government is putting him through a terrible ordeal because of his principled stand on behalf of charitable organizations. Oh, the humanity.

#4 Again, a Muslim proves that their kind reject American legality.

Muslims are not cost effective.

#6 "We are really worried"

I am not worried.

"that there will be permanent damage."

As they say, hope is eternal.

If a force feeding ensues, I'd have some suggestions. Sus scrofa fats have undisputed healing effects. ;-)

#10 Let him starve himself to the very limit then force feed him. Once he's better let him start again.

#11  Why am I thinking of dissolving pig fat in grain alcohol?

What an appalling suggestion!

A bacon lettuce & tomato sandwich with a nice lager is much more refined and civilized. Even if you have to whiz it up in a blender.

#14 But in a plea bargain last April, al-Arian admitted to conspiring to aid Palestinian Islamic Jihad and was sentenced to nearly five years in prison, although al-Arian received credit for the time he had already served. Al-Arian and his lawyers contend the plea deal also exempts him from testifying before the Alexandria, Va. grand jury, which is investigating a cluster of Islamic charities in northern Virginia.

U.S. District Judge James S. Moody Jr. of Florida disagreed, finding al-Arian in civil contempt for refusing to testify, a ruling that extends al-Arian's prison sentence for 18 months. A judge will also review al-Arian's status every six months and could continue to extend al-Arian's sentence until he cooperates.

So who do you think can hold out longer, Sammy, you or U.S. District Judge James S. Moody Jr.?
My money's on the judge.

#15 Does force feeding mean tube feeding?

#17 Ok, let's have the prison force-feed him. First, cut a LARGE hole in his throat (none of this down-the-nose BS). Then fit a nice 3/8 inch siphon hose down the esophagus. Attach that to a 20gpm pump, pour whatever they're going to feed him (liquified hog-head cheese comes to mind) into a trough, and crank 'er up. When the trough's empty, turn the pump off. Repeat as necessary.

#21 Frank! Latin and French?

You're referring to force-feeding him like a goose, not feeding him the delicacy, right.

I like the BLT smoothie, myself....

#23 Have y'all tried Fried Spam?
cut thin slices longways (Under 1/4 inch thick)
Fry in bacon grease.
dry by placing strips on either 3-4 layers of paper towels. or clean newspaper (Purists, save the paper for firestarter, burns like a torch)
serve as breakfast meat, substitute for bacon or sausage
it's a great change of pace.

#25 I forgot to mention, if you want to save the greasy paper, put it in something airtight, like a coffee can you can seal, not only does it stink, but you'll have to keep your dogs and cats from eating it, it won't hurt them, but they'll make a huge greasy mess.
