Water can get boring, so keep a variety of clear liquids on hand. On the day before your colonoscopy â when you're restricted to clear liquids â you can have popsicles, Jell-O, clear broth, coffee or tea (without milk or creamer), soft drinks, Italian ice, or Gatorade. But take nothing with red, blue, or purple dye.
Guantanamo Bay: violence, hunger strikes and protests. Violent clashes, hunger strikes and growing calls for its closure â what is happening in Guantanamo Bay, three years after its promised closure? At the weekend, following months of increased tensions at the Cuban prison camp, detainees attacked their guards with makeshift weapons.
On Tuesday morning, President Obama is expected to deliver an address about his plan to fulfill his campaign promise of closing Guantanamo Bay. A total of 91 detainees still remain at the detention facility at the military base. The holding of the prisoners, in conjunction with operating costs, runs the US close to $180 million a year in operating costs. But beyond the debate over holding detainees at the base and the cost of the facility, life at Guantanamo is anything but perfect for the US military personnel based there. Troops feel isolated, with no civilian cell phone towers and barely adequate bandwidth for video chat.
