Hunger strike at Gitmo

75 terrorists are now on a hunger strike at Gitmo. Why should we be concerned? Why should we care? Seriously, why?

They wouldn't be doing this if they didn't know we would panic and bend over frontwards and backwards to make sure they don't dare harm themselves. They (and their lawyers) have this country pegged. The PC crowd always succumb to this laughable trick. But why?

Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand called the hunger strike at the U.S. naval base in southeastern Cuba an "attention-getting" tactic to step up pressure for the inmates' release and said it might be related to a May 18 clash between detainees and guards that injured six prisoners.

"The hunger strike technique is consistent with al-Qaida practice and reflects detainee attempts to elicit media attention to bring international pressure on the United States to release them back to the battlefield," Durand said from Guantanamo Bay.

What we should do is give them the opportunity to eat and if they refuse, they refuse. They are prisoners of war and they are not entitled to a trial. They aren't entitled to half of the amenities we provide them.

Someone in authority needs to let the world know that if POW's refuse to eat, they will go hungry of and by their own volition.

Gitmo needs a little tough love!
