This makes me so sad. When are these detainees going to be treated like humans and released

The sheer irony. I remember reading the autobiography of a East German dissident in the late 90's.
At one time during his imprisonment he went on hunger strike and was force fed the same way for 6 months.

They should just use the old "There are starving kids in Africa" line with them.

They should just use the old "There are starving kids in Africa" line with them.

Maybe because their fathers are locked up in Gitmo...

Its the old conundrum.
'A tyrant dies, his rule ends.
A martyr dies, his rule begins' - Kierkegaard
Force feed them and they live long enough to have their demands eventually met and set free, only to become a footnote of history.
Let them starve to death and they will be the rallying cry of a legion of followers for decades to come.
