FILE - In this Nov. 20, 2013, file photo, reviewed by the U.S. military, U.S. Navy medical personnel displays an enteral feeding tube, used for force-feeding detainees, during a tour of the detainee hospital at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba. The government is applying ill-advised procedures as a form of punishment for hunger strikers at Guantanamo Bay prison, a medical doctor told a federal court Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014. The assessment by Dr. Steven Miles came at a hearing where lawyers for Abu Wa'el Dhiab are seeking to improve the conditions of confinement that Dhiab faces at the hands of his jailers. Lawyers for the Justice Department told the court that the military only feeds prisoners against their will to keep them alive and follows all laws when it does so. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak,File)
