Gitmo Hunger Strike
Oh, good, more publicity for these savages.
And of course, the BBC has to get that dig in there that only four of the five hundred terrorists (yes, terrorists) have been charged. If I remember at work tonight, I'll give you a bit of a rant about detention under the Geneva Convention, and the history of such detention in such conflicts as World War II and Korea.
They're protesting their treatment? It's already been established that they're not being mistreated, and that they're behaving worse than a bunch of middle schoolers. They're spitting on guards regularly, destroying their own Qurans by using them to plug their toilets... Need I go on? I wish I were being mistreated by receiving more food than I'd ever eaten in a single day in my entire life.
The money shot?
Once again, the BBC writer jumps the shark by calling this guy a "soldier". If the guy were a legitimate soldier, he wouldn't have been detained down in Gitmo. A soldier wears a uniform and answers to a chain of command. How much do you want to bet that the only uniform this guy wore in his entire life was the one they issued him upon his arrival at Gitmo?
The other money shot?
That's right, folks. The Gitmo detainees have turned into liberals.
Fifty-two detainees at the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba are staging a hunger strike in protest at their detention and treatment.
So far, the men have refused nine consecutive meals over three days, the US military said in a statement.
The detainees are being monitored by medical professionals and their vital signs are being checked daily.
More than 500 inmates are currently being held at Guantanamo. Only four have been charged.

On Wednesday, an Afghan man released from the camp after three years said that more than 100 prisoners had been on hunger strike for two weeks.
The former Taleban soldier said the protest was aimed at highlighting "inhuman" conditions at the camp.

However, a lawyer who represents a number of detainees held in Guantanamo Bay told BBC Pentagon correspondent Adam Brookes that protests in the prison facilities were already under way by late June.
The lawyer said that they had been prompted by detainees' anger over the quality of their drinking water.
