More details are emerging from lawyers in New York, about a hunger strike by detainees at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

The US military has confirmed that a number of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have refused nine consecutive meals.

The Centre for Constitutional Rights said the lawyers first heard of the strike from prisoners frustrated by their indefinite detention and what they described as the inhuman conditions at Guantanamo, specifically in a facility known as camp five.

According to the lawyers, prisoners had said that as well as a hunger strike, they were planning to boycott showers and recreation time.

1. Is our case against them so weak...........

that we can't let them have legal representation? Or even tell their families where they are? :grr:

(ps: I think that Roberts agrees that they are not qualified for basic Geneva Convention protections)

way to treat other human beings.

2. Release the torture photos now

So Americans can see again the truth of what Bush and Republicans are doing in our name.

5. "Noodles Jefferson"

That's the ticket!

I agree that honey glazed chicken is so declasse.


(Some days I'm sure I should go in for treatment, but then it seems that we really are that fucked up.)
