The Battle To Force Feed Gitmo Detainees

CNN's Chris Lawrence traveled to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to get a rare, first-hand look at the drastic measures being taken inside the U.S. detention facility to keep dozens of inmates on hunger strikes alive.

The inmates' hunger strike marks its 100th day Friday, and shows no signs of stopping. Some of the 100 hunger-strikers will drink supplements if ordered to, but 30 detainees who refuse to eat are force fed through tubes put up their nose, down their throat and into their stomach.

"It's kind of a tough mission, this is kind of an ugly place sometimes," says a senior medical officer at Guantanamo Bay who has to remain anonymous for security reasons.

Has anyone asked them what they want to end the strike? It seems not. I wonder how long it will take the jailers to ask the simple question. Gee. Golly. Gosh darn! Why didn't I think of this? Well, then, there's nothing to bargain for.
