Hunger strike at Gitmo

I used to have a modicum of respect for the US military, but that's gone now. Their definitions of right, wrong, honor, and dishonor make no sense to me. I'm beginning to understand what the term "forked tongue" really means.

Here's an article which provides some of their rationale for stopping civilian flights into the base at Guantanamo:

What was left out of the article is that most of the 166 prisoners are on a hunger strike which the military refuses to acknowledge:

Prisoners may start dying in droves, and I think Uncle Sam is trying to reduce both the number of potential witnesses to this debacle and the ability of people on the outside to help these dying men.

What kind of a country says "we don't have enough evidence to bring someone to trial, but they can never be released"? I would call it a tyranny. What do you think?

By the way, the kind of sensory deprivation shown in this photograph (blindfolds, earmuffs, gloves, masks) is a form of torture derived from the CIA's MKUltra experiments.
