To the relief of us all, it seems that his starvation, interrupted by forced feeding, is slowly coming to an end;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Daily medical logs submitted with the government&#8217;s motion show that Shalabi has apparently eaten solid food as far back as February, when a guard reported seeing him eat a granola bar behind a newspaper, trying to shield himself from view.<\/p>\n<p>That same month the military reported he received seven Slim Jims \u2014 a dried meat snack \u2014 and a pack of gum from a visiting attorney. The next month he reportedly received a sticky bun from night guards at the hospital, where the military says he has his own flat screen television with a satellite connection. An entry in July says he ate grapes, spaghetti with meat sauce, two pieces of baklava and a banana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tell you how often I&#8217;ve worried about Shalabi and the thought of him wasting away in front of his flat screen TV with a satellite connection. I&#8217;ll probably never get back the hours of sleep I lost, but at least I can go into the Columbus Day weekend with one more burden lifted from my dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROS sends us a link to the MSNBC article about Abdul Rahman Shalabi the Guantanamo detainee &hellip; <a title=\"Hunger strike ends in Gitmo\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20753\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Hunger strike ends in Gitmo<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20753\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
