"Casscells watched as a half-dozen Gitmo prisoners went through the 45-minute
procedure. They were strapped into 'restraint chairs' and a L/jo-inch soft
rubber tube was fed through their noses. (Prisoners may request a local
anesthetic to ease the discomfort.) The patients ingest a tasteless high-protein
mix, and guards watch them for an hour to make sure they do not self-induce
vomiting. 'Nobody kicked or screamed,' Casscells says. Other Gitmo doctors
agree: There are seven doctors at Gitmo, and according to Casscells, none has
objected to the forced feedings.'"
Are they supposed to just let them die? Would that be better? These people are refusing to eat, and without discussing the reasons that they are there, you have to either feed them or let them die.
