Only Obama can stop Gitmo force-feeding - US judge
A US district judge has ruled that she would be overstepping her authority by issuing an injunction against force-feeding prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, saying that only President Obama has the necessary authority to stop the practice.
Judge Gladys Kessler issued the ruling in response to an injunction request made on behalf of inmate Abu Wael Dhiab, a Syrian national who was cleared for transfer out of Guantanamo by the Obama administration in 2009 but who has been held at the detention center for over a decade without charge or trial; he remains at the camp.
