It's horrifying. Might as well force-feed them pork.
And the US knows that this is illegal, too: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jun/05/forcefee...

#4Guantanamo Bay is one of the most disgusting institutions in the "civilized world". How is this acceptable? Treating humans as garbage, no trial, just meat stored for torture.
Every day this piece of shit prison is open is a god damn disgrace for the entire human race.

Next time vote for someone who definitely, honest-to-god promises to close it if they get in. Of course, you might have done that last time as well...

Indeed. Obama blaming congress today is, unfortunately, a case of plausible deniability.

Isn't that consistent with normal force-feeding, except its properly respecting Ramadan?
The fast of Ramadan begins at sunrise and ends at sunset. So force-feeding them at night is the religiously observant thing to do.
(To say nothing about force-feeding in general)

There was, initially, some semblance of progress:

#10The process of having a feeding tube inserted into one's nose is extremely painful, much more so than you'd expect. Out of all the injuries I've had (e.g. broken collar bone, 4 concussions, etc), none reached the immediate pain intensity level as having a feeding tube inserted.
For me, the tube felt way too small to fit. Blood started trickling down the back of my throat and my whole body seized up in pain. It's scary to have such an internalized pain immediately next to one's brain.
