Appeals court won't release Gitmo force-feeding videos

WASHINGTON –  The public does not have a right to see graphic videos of a former Guantanamo Bay inmate being force-fed during a hunger strike because they are classified and could harm national security, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.

The Associated Press and 15 other news organizations had sought release of the videos, arguing that they were part of the public record.

Really, why was it necessary to force-feed these prisoners?

If they wanted to starve themselves to death, why not accommodate their wishes?

Aside:
Well, if it happened during obama's tenure, I can understand why -- he wanted to free them!
