Three More Detainees Hospitalized at Gitmo
2005-09-15
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - Three more detainees have been hospitalized after refusing meals at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, bringing to 21 the number being treated from a hunger strike that involves a quarter of the camp's prisoners, an official said Wednesday.

All 21 detainees are being tube-fed through a really large honking tube rammed up their nose, up from 13 a day ago, said Sgt. Justin Behrens, a spokesman at Guantanamo. The military has said it views a hunger strike as a form of suicide and will take steps to prevent it.
Spoilsports.
All striking detainees were in stable condition, Behrens said.

#4  Any way we can get some unemployed New Orleans nursing home owner down there to run the hospital?
