The US has already changed rules so that they do not even need evidence of a crime to hold detainees at Camp X-Ray. I think flouting the Geneva conventions is idiotic and wrong. There should be protections for people captured during military operations.
Earlier this month, Amnesty International criticised that as a “pick-and-choose approach” amounting to “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.”
Two prisoners who protested at their uncertain fate by refusing to eat for 30 days were force-fed 2,000 calories a day through nasal feeding tubes for 10 days.
They were returned to the prison cells but still are not eating and probably will be taken back to the hospital in a few days for more forced feeding.
