Hunger Strike!

Lemon Chicken not prepared by French Chef

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,163237,00.html

Apparently some of the prisoners at Gitmo have decided that no one is paying attention to them, so they have gone on a hunger strike.  Officials are monitoring their health.

Which is kind of funny.  If they were free and not blowing up little children, they would probably be starving anyway.  I guess they feel guilt at eating well while their 'blow up brethren' are not eating at all!

Why are we monitoring their health?  I know, because we are not the animals they are.  But it still seems a waste of taxpayer money when we have starving children in Appalachia.

Wonder where all the socialist lilberals are (Disclaimer - that is a subset of liberals, I am not calling all liberals socialist).  They should be yelling at the Administration for not feeding the poor of America and feeding the scum of the earth.

They (detainees) pull this sort of shit all the time. Since they're not eating their food, maybe the Soldiers watching over them can have their expensive meals instead of DFAC crap and MREs.

If you can starve the handicapped in the US, then someone who willingly opts to deny themselves food and die for a political statement should have the right to do so.

nah, the "Pork-to-Nutrient" level is way too low. Soldiers need their daily allowance of lard.

Sad, but true.  So do we start a pool whether it will be the NYT, the Washington post, or LA Times that does it first?
