Remember that the Gitmo hunger strike is another terror campaign inside our prison. It is an information campaign assisted by oddly sympathetic attorneys designed to make us look bad.
It is common to have committed enemies organize prisoners for a new fight and to terrorize prisoners who'd rather not continue the war. The North Koreans led revolts inside their prisons, if I recall, during the Korean War/
Al Qaeda jihadis are pressuring other inmates to join the hunger strike and many cooperate with us out of sight of the leaders to choose their flavor of "forced" feeding. To eat is to commit suicide when the jihadis see them cooperate with us.
I read that at Strategypage but can't find the article now.
Why we allow the leaders to remain in group settings with other Guantanamo Bay inmates who would rather enjoy rice pilaf and the nice weather is beyond me. Identify the hard core guys and pull them out so they can't intimidate the rest.
And then let the leaders who really want to be on a hunger strike die--but offer them food every four hours on video to document their responsibility.
Then dump them at sea, of course. If it was good enough for Osama, it's good enough for those scum.
