Four Uighurs at Gitmo Released to Bermuda

Talkleft:

Four of the Chinese Uighurs being held there have been moved to Bermuda where they will live and be free.

Bermuda's prime minister, Ewart Brown, said the men would be allowed to live in the self-governing British territory, first as refugees. Brown said they would be allowed to pursue citizenship and would have the right to work, travel and "potentially settle elsewhere".

Brown said negotiations with Washington over taking in the Uighurs began last month and he had no security concerns because the men had been cleared by US courts.

Just think how any one of us would feel if we were kidnapped by the CIA held for 7 years and tortured and released saying the CIA knew we were innocent all those 7 years.
I can tell you the 586 innocent detainees who Bush released after being held/tortured for 7 years don't think much of the USA. No wonder so have joined terrortist groups as they never knew about these groups until they were told by the CIA while being tortured in Gitmo. I pray God will forgive us for allowing this to happen.
