en There has been a drastic change. Although we can't say with certainty why, detainees on hunger strike have begun to eat.

en The US military appears to be systematically downplaying the hunger strike in order to avoid international criticism. In July they denied the existence of a hunger strike two weeks after it had started. Now they seem to be understating the number of detainees involved and the gravity of the medical condition of several of the detainees. This policy once again demonstrates the lack of transparency around all US detention practices and policies in the 'war on terror'.

[laughs] With me and Julian [Casablancas ]... who would do the high part?

en It's hard to keep them interested. You look at NASCAR. I'm a NASCAR fan, so to me (a points system) was a drastic, drastic change. I didn't like it. I didn't want them to change. But sometimes staying the same is not good. I like what they're doing. It's meant to have an exciting conclusion to the season. It's not just going to be one event. It's going to be a series.

The best way for me to check the accuracy of these and other allegations ... is to visit, see the conditions for myself, to talk privately with detainees.
