Mos Def is a Giant Pussy

Via Antony Loewenstein's blog:

Devastating short film that demonstrates the brutal reality for countless prisoners under the Obama administration:

As always, Antony can't count. Luckily others can.

As Ramadan begins, more than 100 hunger-strikers in Guantánamo Bay continue their protest. More than 40 of them are being force-fed.

Countless!

In this four-minute film made by Human Rights organisation Reprieve and Bafta award-winning director Asif Kapadia, US actor and rapper Mos Def, who now goes by the name Yasiin Bey, experiences the procedure.

Watch him ham it up for the cameras.

Loewenstein claims force-feeding inmates is torture. Rubbish. The alternative is of course letting them die and wouldn't there be complaints then.

Any of the Guantanamo Bay 'victims' of what was gleefully shilled by the Guardian and Loewenstein describes as "torture" could simply change their mind and eat a nice meal instead. Oh the humanity!

There is also a good chance those in the video didn't know what they were doing. Here's a video showing how it should be done. I'm no medical professional but even without the 'sips of water' that a hunger-striking inmate might reject, there were some fundamental errors in the head positioning. This is rather weak propaganda.

The late Christopher Hitchens (who has crushed Mos Def previously) copped a waterboarding and he didn't cry like a big girl.



Conclusion: Mos Def is a pussy.

Update: Little white girls are also tougher than Mos Def.
