when they said our troops were torturing the inmates at Gitmo?
" Muslim detainees at Guantanamo Bay entered Ramadan with traditional sweets, dates and honey _ but without a military chaplain to lead them in prayer during Islam's holy month.
Nearly all the alleged al-Qaida and Taliban members held at the detention center in Cuba are observing Ramadan, officials said Tuesday. Meals are offered before dawn and after sunset to accommodate their fasting during daylight hours."
Or maybe it was this? "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..."The detainees are advised that they are offered more food than necessary, to provide choice and variety, and that consuming all the food they are offered will result in weight gain," he (Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand) said."
Is that really their idea of torture?
