Guantanamo's hunger strike has passed the two-month mark - and its got psychologists
and lawyers deeply worried. One prisoner of 11 years who's refusing food even tried to
kill himself last month. His lawyer says the inmate was taken away by ambulance - his
condition's unknown. U.S. officials are telling attorneys whether their hunger-striking
clients are being force-fed. Officially, 42 inmates are protesting, but their lawyers say
it's many more. Demonstrations are planned on Thursday across the U.S. in support of
the Guantanamo inmates, and to push for the notorious facility to be shut down. But, as
Gayane Chickakyan reports, the Pentagon's only pumping more cash into keeping it
open.
