NOT LETTING PRISONERS OF WAR DIE FROM STARVATION CONSIDERED "CRUEL"

Experts see medical ethics violations at Guantanamo - Yahoo! News

This story is quite halarious. There is nothing in the story that is different from what I wittnessed as a psychologist in the Bureau of Prisons for years. If what they are doing in Guantanamo is wrong, then every Federal Prison policy in the nation must be reevaluated.

I watched a man who refused to end a hunger strike, get strapped down into a chair, then force fed through a tube. It is indeed a horrible experience and a rough duty. But what is the alternative? Letting someone die of starvation? I guess since Terry Shivo, the left in this country consider keeping someone from starving to be "cruel." Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Instead of forcing a tube down their necks, we should cart out
some goodies and put a football game on. If they don't inadvertently grab a handfull of nachos then they must be on a jihad.

Good one, Tom. Made me laugh. Pipe in some doobie smoke, then drop cheetos from the ceiling.
