At least two of the suspects in the 9/11 terror attacks have been on hunger strikes at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps since January, Fox News has learned.
The men, among the so-called “high value 14” who were transferred from the CIA secret prisons in 2006 to the Navy base in Cuba, are protesting conditions at Guantanamo’s Camp 7 and a new policy in which communications between detainees and their defense lawyers are reviewed for security purposes, according to knowledgeable sources who would not provide further detail.
It is not clear whether the men are refusing all foods and fluids or whether they are eating only on an occasional basis.
Defense Department spokesman Todd Breasseale said he could not discuss health-related issues of the 9/11 suspects, adding, “the physical well-being of detainees is our primary responsibility, and their security is of vital importance to our mission there. ... Hunger strikes are a form of non-violent protest, and those few who have engaged in this practice are monitored so that their health is never in any real danger. Their vital statistics are routinely monitored and they are not allowed to endanger their lives.”

Less we have to spend on them. They can starve themselves to death for all I care.
Let the bastards starve. They wanted to die for the Koran anyway. In point of fact, shoot them now and save all that money giving them free medical. Oh, excuse me, it's not free, the U.S tax payer is footing the bill.
And so, what is the point? Who cares if they starve?
Conditions? Like gitmo is worse than a mud shack in the desert/mountains where everyone around you is a conspirator to murder.
Hang tough you guys.keep starving. You'll get to meet your Allah sooner than you think.good part is they'll get to the gates and find out Allah is God's dogs name.lmao.
