Last week a group of Republican senators proposed legislation that would bar the military from hiding prisoners from the Red Cross; prohibit cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees; and use only interrogation techniques authorized in a new army field manual.  Vice President Cheney later met with the senators and warned that the White House would veto any bill that included these provisions against torture, even if it meant vetoing the entire $442 billion Pentagon authorization bill for the 2006 fiscal year. Once again, the Bush administration has come out clearly on the side of torture.

But Cheney can count on growing support from within the ranks of the Republican party.  Now a group of enterprising Republicans have started "Club G’itmo" to celebrate torture and the destruction the US constitution

Recently, some Republican congressmen returned from a visit to the detention camp at Guantanamo and raved about the excellent food the prisoners received daily:"They ply the prisoners with rice pilaf, beef burgundy and ice cream". But evidently not all of the prisoners want to eat these gourmet meals provided by the American taxpayers.  From RTL NEWS:
Im US-Hochsicherheitsgefängnis von Guantánamo Bay sind 52 Gefangene in einen Hungerstreik getreten. Die Männer hätten bereits neun Mahlzeiten verweigert, so das Pentagon. Sie würden, wenn nötig, künstlich ernährt. Nach Angaben einer Bürgerrechtsbewegung in New York protestieren die Häftlinge gegen ihre unbefristete Haft und ‘unmenschlichen Haftbedingungen’. Sie verlangen unter anderem, dass sie faire Verfahren erhalten, mehr und besseres Essen bekommen und außerdem an das Tageslicht gehen können
Please remember the case of Murat Kurnaz, the young Turkish man from Bremen who has been held for more than two years at Guantanamo without any charges being filed.  For Germans readers, pleae consider writing to your nearest American consulate and keeping this young man’s case in the public eyes by writing letters to the editor of your local newspaper.  For American readers, please write to your representatives in congress.  You know, there is absolutely no mystery to the question: Why do they hate us?
