Letters Detail Punitive Tactics Used on Guantánamo Hunger Strikers
13th October 2013
The US military secretly used a variety of tactics to break the resolve of the Guantánamo Bay hunger strikers, including placing them in solitary confinement if they continued to refuse food, newly declassified interviews with detainees reveal.
Oh, let us weep for the poor terrorists oppressed at Gitmo. Perhaps we ought to do that they do, beat and behead their prisoners.
The key to handling a ‘hunger strike’ is let them starve; their choice, their consequences. Western governments are too soft-hearted to keep their citizens secure, as Gandhi discovered and exploited brilliantly — if the French, Germans, or Italians had been ruling India, he’d have been dead by the side of the road with a bullet in his head the first time he tried any of that shit, and the world would have been saved a lot of mawkish foolishness.
