Gitmo Defends Force-Feeding Tactics. UTTERLY APPALLING.

I heard this story on NPR last night and I was shaking with rage when it was over, sick to my stomach.

It is about the barbaric way that our soldiers have 'ended' the hunger strike by prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Strap 'em down, force feed a 'nutritional supplement,' then force feed them laxatives. Then leave them there, restrained, as they vomit, defecate and urinate all over themselves.

This is utterly appalling. I have never been so ashamed to be an American.
