Here’s a thought. Stop force-feeding him. If he doesn’t want to eat, he doesn’t eat.

An IRA guy starved himself in a British prison 20+ years ago for political reasons. And then he died. Within a few weeks, nobody cared.

Let the SOB kill himself if he wants.

...and is force-fed a liquid nutrient mix to keep him alive.

What a ridiculous waste of time and resources. If the terrorist wants to starve, let him.

That goes for the rest of the terrorists as well.

Give him the food. If he doesn’t want to eat it, that’s his business. The idea of force feeding him is ludicrous. Whoever made that decision needs reassignment.

3 1/2-year hunger strike

That's got to be some weird hunger strike if he's still alive 3.5 years later.

You don't suppose he cheated, do you?

[boomop1]

Must be a Jessie Jackson hunger strike 3 plus years, shouldn’t be much left of him.

Ahmed Zuhair, a Saudi prisoner who has refused to eat since the summer of 2005 and is force-fed a liquid nutrient mix to keep him alive

Turn the bastard over to the Saudis, as long as they agree in advance to behead him.

[mickey finn]

This sounds like Cindy Sheehan’s smoothie hunger strike.
