A spokesperson said the raid on the American exclave on the fringes of the Cuban island had been ordered by a Havana based court citing medical emergency. The woman prisoner was said to have been administered disinformation by American medical personnel that put her into acute danger, the rehabilitation verdict argued. The Guantanamo compound was handed over to the North Americans by the colonial power of Spain in the Spanish-American war at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, and never got its status appropriately upgraded after Cuba obtained independence.
The American secretary of defence, who actually is one of war, had a subordinate spokesperson decline any comment on the issue in response to news requests. There was no acknowledgement as to whether the described inmate was registered there or had gone missing recently. There was no comment available from American government branches as to whether Cuba had entered the disputed territory. Apparently guards there, who are focussed on handling inmates, wasted little attention to defence against possible intruders.
The prisoner had been called “Miss Burqa” by concentration camp guards, it was explained, since she insisted on wearing the garb as an expression of her Islamic faith. Cuban doctors explained they had succeeded to rescue the prisoner entirely covered without even the slightest technical interruption in the coverage chain. They added while this was a minor aspect to themselves, they respected that it was of crucial importance for the prisoner and to be regarded as necessary to allow her to take back control of her feelings from the captors she had just escaped.
The spokesperson said the liberators took the entire stash of forced feeding food with them not to have it used on the young lady, but as evidence illustrating the inferior quality of the American treatment. They added that while they took research samples, it was the right of the contraband’s owner to make a decision to discard it or forward it for laboratory research on the Guantanamo dehumanisation programs of the Washington regime. Cuba said the food was a remainder from the Cuban missile crisis in the 20th century, when it had been stockpiled as military rations.
Apparently, Guantanamo guards received a special thrill from force-feeding prisoners with military rations, preying on their belief to take nothing that came from the military and thereby has become unclean. Since the American military bought excessive stockpiles of food in times of diplomatic crisis, some of which were never used up, or had been stored parallel to regular food buffers, tons of old food have been delivered to Guantanamo over the years, especially after war ships were forbidden to throw it over board because fish swarms might betray their course to lurkers.
Force-feeding has gained increasing popularity in the American military over the last twelve months, correlating with a similar hike in suicide rates. The share of candidates applying to get promoted to force-feeding jobs has sharply increased with the increase in intensity of the bombing war over the course of this year. But due to the boost of the aerial assassination program the taking of new prisoners has been stalling and the expansion of the force-feeding program has been looking at medical bodies for okaying its use in internal disciplinary measures.
Diplomats suggested that the Cuban stint action was motivated not only by women’s rights and food security concerns, but also out of an estimation that if the short-cut between enemy torture and internal disciplinary measures was to be established it might lead to an increase in prisoners and guards, turning the now partly empty concentration camp into a packed military base again. Cuba said it was available to take back the territory from the Americans any time and regarded the Spanish-American war legacy as overridden by its achievement of independence.
The Cuban spokesperson elaborated that in the case the fence was to come down facilities were to be frozen as found until decisions on the entire archipelago of military occupation bases were to be made by an international body taking on the legacy of Unitedstates militarism. Under the laughter of the press corps he joked Hemingway had to put his hand on Obama’s shoulders and teach him that the motto of the day it is tear down that fence and not tear down that burqa. He added that in case of handover Cuba was prepared to ensure nothing could be tampered with in the meantime by guarding the facilities.
