Guantanamo inmates on hunger strike
Australian News.Net Wednesday 30th April, 2008
Detainees at the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba have begun a new hunger strike.
The U.S. commander at Guantanamo, Robert Durand, says he believes the strike is short term protest to gain sympathy prior to new war-crimes trial proceedings.
He said the inmates were trying to elicit media attention to bring international pressure on the United States to release the inmates back to the battlefield.
The U.S. military has not disclosed the names or nationalities of hunger strikers but said the 10 men facing war-crimes trials were not among them.

He’s on the losing side and hates the fact Muslims are not only powerless but are cannon fodder for their ruling elite pawns to be used and spent.
Poor guy I bent he is a real card at parties.
I would love to let my pot bellied pig take a big dump on his dirt driveway.

Sand in your snatch?
Cry little baby cry.
Cry me a river.
Microbes are the reason you exist without them we would all starve.
Even that insult is pathetic do you have a cogent point?
Can you even make one solid post worthy of anything but a chuckle at what a miserable angry little wretch you appear to be?
Naw you are like stepping on dig shit a little smelly and annoying but easily washed off and forgotten about.
By the way Hyenas are actually noble animals very high up on the food chain and typically not the Carrion eaters they are portrayed as even this point you can’t get right.
How does someone as stupid as you manage to not get run over by a bus?

Quote:
was astounded at what happened next. The lioness that we were with started to roar and sat down. Within minutes, I counted all 15 lions. They hadn’t caught anything. That was the astounding bit. How could they have missed? They sat and looked at each other as if to apportion blame to whoever had messed up the hunt. It was extremely revealing to watch lions hunting in this shambolic way. They weren’t selecting their victims, they were just bumping in to the unluckiest, not the weakest or the dumbest.
Stealing a meal
That was pretty much it for lion-hunting technique. But the extent of the lion’s thieving took me by surprise. When we found hyenas skulking around a lion kill, everything seemed in order. But often, when I looked closer, I could see that one or more of the hyenas had blood on their faces - compelling evidence that there had been a mugging. The hyenas weren’t begging; they were trying to get back what was theirs.
I had always known that hyenas were able predators. But the extent and quantity of their killing is not often reported. As far as I could see, they take more than lions and cheetahs put together. But the reasons why hyena hunting is so hard to see, and what makes people assume that they live by begging, is that most of this hunting happens at night.
Hyena hunting
When hyenas do finally zero in on a target, they can accelerate to over 50kph at a moment’s notice. They may not be able to outpace their victims at first, but they have extraordinary stamina. After a kilometre, the wildebeest or tommy is flagging, while the hyenas are still going strong. After 2km, the prey is exhausted and turns to face its pursuers. Any other hyenas noticing the commotion will help the hunter bring the animal down by whatever means they can. In as little as 30 minutes, an adult wildebeest will be completely gone, some of the hyenas putting away a record breaking 30kg of meat and bone. This could be another reason why the extent of hyena predation is not usually acknowledged: by morning, there won’t be anything to see - just a stain on the grass, if you look closely.
These nights were a revelation to me, so much so that I lost all interest in filming lions and hyenas in daytime. But as soon as the fresh evening breeze crosses the plains, hyenas come alive, revealing themselves to be among the most versatile, intelligent and interesting animals on the planet.
How do you live with yourself being this obtuse?
