GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — Calls for the doctors who force-feed hunger striking prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to refuse to perform the practice on ethical grounds have gotten no traction, a spokesman for the prison said Thursday.

No doctors, nurses or corpsman have balked at feeding the prisoners or even voiced a concern about the military’s policy of using what’s known as enteral feeding to prevent any of the hunger strikers from starving to death, said Navy Capt. Robert Durand.
