Does Obama really care? Don't think so.

'Across the U.S. on Thursday, street protests will support prisoners detained at the U.S. prison in Guantánamo who are engaged in a large-scale hunger strike, which began in early February. Some are now in critical condition.

“The vast majority of the 166 men have been held for more than eleven years without any charge or fair trial, with no end to their detention in sight. The Obama administration must take swift measures to humanely address the immediate causes of the hunger strike and fulfill its promise to close the Guantanamo” says a statement from World Can’t Wait and Witness Against Torture.

Maybe I'll join if I can find some time between watching the paint dry and the grass grow.

You have about as much 'proof' as Obama does that they are 'illegal combatants' - which is none.
