Latest U.S. Torture Technique


“SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A high-calorie diet combined with life in the cell block - almost around the clock in some cases - is making detainees at Guantanamo Bay fat.
Meals totaling a whopping 4,200 calories per day are brought to their cells, well above the 2,000 to 3,000 calories recommended for weight maintenance by U.S. government dietary guidelines. And some inmates are eating everything on the menu.
One detainee has almost doubled in weight, to 410 pounds, said Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand, spokesman for the detention facilities at Guantanamo, a U.S. Navy station in southeast Cuba.
Human rights groups attribute the weight gain to lack of exercise. They cite accounts of released detainees who complained they were allowed to exercise fewer than three times a week outside their small cells.”


This is just another example of how the evil Bush Administration (appointed by the Supreme Court, by the way) forces others to conform to “American values”.
When will the right-wing evangelicals realize that food is the enemy, not Freedom Fighters, praise Allah?
