The Torture Never Stops

Those demons have employed the dreaded Harry Potter readings, the diabolical high volume Red Hot Chili Peppers, the abominable shirt grab and the monstrous belly slap, and much much more.

But now the inhuman Bushitler minions at Guantanamo Torture Facility have devised the most fiendish abuse ever perpetrated by The Man: The Hideous High-Calorie Diet. (Hat tip: CAGE: news.)

A high-calorie diet combined with life in the cell block — almost around the clock in some cases — is making detainees at Guantanamo Bay fat.

Meals totaling a whopping 4,200 calories per day are brought to their cells, well above the 2,000 to 3,000 calories recommended for weight maintenance by U.S. government dietary guidelines. And some inmates are eating everything on the menu.

One detainee has almost doubled in weight, to 410 pounds, said Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand, spokesman for the detention facilities at Guantanamo, a U.S. Navy station in southeast Cuba.

Human rights groups attribute the weight gain to lack of exercise. They cite accounts of released detainees who complained they were allowed to exercise fewer than three times a week outside their small cells.

When combined with the belly slap, the high calorie diet has been known to break down hardened killers within seconds.

Claudia Rosett may have been the first to expose this new horror.
