Pretty damn nasty.

[QUOTE="m25105"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Don't care? Hmm.....you are the one complaining because they are feeding hunger strikers. Would you prefer they let them die? Then you'd make a thread whining about that.LJS9502_basic

Edit: You still haven't answered if you watched the video. Are you one of those persons who approve of depleted uranium and then ignore all videos/images and articles that it has on the population, cause you just can't be bothered?

Good to know the U.S. is humane enough to prevent starvation but not enough to stop holding them captive against their will with no charges or trial.

then make a thread about that. Not about the fact that prisoners on hunger strike are force fed to keep them from dying

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

[QUOTE="m25105"] Why? It's pretty evident that they're not hunger striking for fun. This video just goes to show what it's the standard procedure in gitmo, which in turn raises awareness that people are still held there without having been tried. Hell, there are still prisoners in gitmo that have been cleared for release, but haven't been yet. One of the more known cases in Europe is the case of Murat Kurnaz, who spent 5 years in gitmo without being charged and it turned out he was innocent. m25105

to show them a procedure that is carried out to prevent people from starving to death?it would be better to start an argument about the legalitity/ethics of gitmo.  I'm sure people can agree with the procedure, but not the reason they're there

[QUOTE="ad1x2"][QUOTE="m25105"] No, I rather post that link so people can see the procedure and then move on from there. If you haven't noticed there are still people on this forum who don't see anything wrong with what's going on in gitmo, this video is meant as much for them as for anyone else. m25105

then go make a thread about that

[QUOTE="m25105"][QUOTE="ad1x2"] So what is your solution to the problem? You seem to be complaining and telling us we need to feel sorry for the detainees but you aren't giving any real solutions.lostrib

then go make a thread about that

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

[QUOTE="m25105"] I already wrote that they should be tried. That's a solution, why the hell do you think they're hungerstriking they've been imprisoned for over a decade and still haven't even been charged. And when cases like Murat Kurnaz shows that they've been kept in gitmo despite knowing that they're innocent for over 5 years then we got a problem. Gitmo should be taken down and the remaining prisoners should be tried in front of a judge.m25105

I think it's a crime that military servicepersons are being ordered to do this, because they shouldn't be forced to engage in a grotesque procedure to assist deranged Islamic terrorists.  The job of these military servicepersons is hard enough without having to do this.  Let 'em starve.  It's also a crime in my view to provide these animals with gold-plated medical, dental, and optical care.  Let 'em rot.

They're not entitled to due process.
