Ben Armbruster from Think Progress is covering the hunger strike in Gitmo. What we do to others we soon do to ourselves. He writes…
The military said on Tuesday that 45 detainees at Guantanamo Bay who are on hunger strike are being tube-fed against their will, the most the military has reported since the latest hunger strike began back in February. The military also said that 106 detainees are refusing food, up from 104 last week.

Below is your handy myth-stripping guide to understanding this critical news item.
