They were captured, turned over to the American military and branded enemy combatants, though that label was later dropped." I have no idea who wrote this, but the reality is that for some reason the Pentagon didn't believe they should release these terrorists while others were judged to be okay to release. So, without regard for what blog you're reading, the military clearly believed they posed a danger. And the fact that we had to coerce Palau to take them by paying Palau's 20,000 residents $10,000/each also supports my claim and contradicts yours. Bottom line, I'm right, you're wrong. As usual.

"We don't even consider them "enemy combatants" Dave, let alone "terrorists"." So, these "victims" had nothing better to do than to train for terrorism in camps in Afghanistan. They must have been bored. A section of your article I notice you were careful not to quote. "Before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, they traveled to Afghanistan to train in camps in the Tora Bora mountains, according to U.S. court filings. The Uighurs fled China because of racial repression and discrimination, their lawyers said. The camps in Afghanistan were run by a Uighur separatist group designated a terrorist organization by the State Department, according to the U.S."
