WTF?

Remember those miners in Chile?  It sounds to me like they are being harassed for no good reason. What I would call harrassment arises, allegedly, from concern over their mental and physical health. The miners, it seems, don't want to talk to the psychologists and other medicos on daily basis.  In order to control the miners the doctors have resorted to a variety of tactics, which have included censorship of private letters, withholding images of the outside world, withdrawing tv and other privileges.  What I find most disturbing the authorities refuse to grant the miners two most pressing demands: wine and cigarettes. They are getting limited quantities of ciggies but no wine. This is just wrong some how.
