'Gitmo gives terrorists powerful recruitment tool'

It's now half a year since Guantanamo's prisoners began their hunger strike. The
US military says the self-imposed starvation protest is waning - because inmates
have been eating after dusk as is tradition in the holy month of Ramadan. But
painful force-feeding procedures and invasive body searches are still part of the
daily routine for many of the prisoners. Keeping the prison running, meanwhile,
seems to serve as a recruitment tool for terrorists worldwide - that's what the
senior counter-terrorism counsel for Human Rights Watch told RT.

Guantanamo Bay currently holds 166 prisoners and of those, 86 have been cleared
for release. The facility spends approximately $2.7 million per person per year to
house and now the chief architect behind the jail is saying Gitmo should have never
been built in the first place. According to Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense
William Lietzau, prisoners should have been legally designated as prisoners of war
and either released or officially charged with a crime. Retired Col. Morris Davis and
Lt. Col. Barry Wingard weigh in on Gitmo.

For the past six months, dozens of detainees have been participating in a hunger
strike at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The prisoners are protesting the
conditions at the facility, and since the start of the demonstration guards have
made individuals subject to invasive searches and have also resorted to force
feeding nearly 41 of those still taking part in the protest. According to the
Department of Justice, al-Qaeda may attack Gitmo in the near future and are
taking these actions to control the flow of information at the prison. So is an attack
possible? Pardiss Kebriaei, senior attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights,
breaks down the circumstances.

Gitmo: The most expensive prison in the world

The prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba has been open for 12 years and throughout that time period,
a total of 779 men who were suspected terrorists were detained at the facility. It turns out that 92
percent of those men had no affiliation with al-Qaeda. Since before Obama became president of the
US, he said closing down the prison was a top priority, but yet it remains open. RT's Sam Sacks
reviews the numbers through the years.

President Obama mentioned the rule of law! _3jxfgZtEzg Crucify these haters! I'm like dying because there's not a prison in my neighborhood. Those Natives put a casino in my neighborhood and their reservation has federalized with the dollar into the accounts of the reserve.
