Guantanamo hunger strikers being named, force-fed

US government officials began contacting attorneys of Guantanamo Bay inmates who are being force-fed as the hunger strike on the prison base drags past the two-month mark.Several lawyers have come forward to report that they were contacted by the Department of Justice and told their clients are being fed via topical anesthetic or by a rubber tube through their nostril, RT reported.The US military generally avoids discussing specific prisoners because of guidelines set forth in the Geneva Convention, but has not discussed any individual cases with the media.Why prison officials and the Department of Justice waited to notify lawyers of force feedings was an object of speculation.Washington has denied the feeding process is painful, while an attorney said her client "never felt anything like it in his life".
