feste I wish I hadn't read this. And I'm so glad I did. Thank you so much for sending. I've forwarded it to a friend who has a huge email list. Also I'm keeping it in my inbox so I won't forget. Will see what more I can do.

Gitmo Is Killing Me By SAMIR NAJI al HASAN MOQBEL GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba ONE man here weighs just 77 pounds. Another, 98. Last thing I knew, I weighed 132, but that was a month ago. I've been on a hunger strike since Feb. 10 and have lost well over 30 pounds. I will not eat until they restore my dignity. I've been detained at Guantánamo for 11 years and three months. I have never been charged with any crime. I have never received a trial. I could have been home years ago — no one seriously thinks I am a threat — but still I am here. Years ago the military said I was a "guard" for Osama bin Laden, but this was nonsense, like something out of the American movies I used to watch. They don't even seem to believe it anymore. But they don't seem to care how long I sit here, either. More: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/15/opinion/hunger-striking-at-guantanamo-bay.html
