Uighurs ask high court for their freedom

WASHINGTON -- Chinese Muslim detainees at Guantanamo Bay are asking the Supreme Court to order their release into the United States.

In court papers filed Monday, a group of Uighurs (WEE'-gurz) says the high court should overrule a federal appeals panel in Washington, which has blocked the release of the Uighurs.

A federal judge determined in October that the Uighurs should be freed because the Pentagon no longer considered them enemy combatants. U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina (ur-BEE'-nuh) said they should be allowed into this country because the administration could find no other country willing to accept them.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said Urbina had gone too far in ordering the men released into the United States.

Into our country, the United States...

What! In order to defeat an enemy you must first undertand first understand that he is your enemy.


Knowing our Gov't they will give them bail out money ( via our taxes) given them a house, welfare, and social security.........and then Amnesty them and their family and friends that all hate Americans!

I cannot imagine what was going through this judge's mind to turn them loose in this country. These guys have been sitting in Guantanamo for six or seven years during the heyday of waterboarding not being a form of torture. Does anyone really think that these guys will be happy being in America, a country they blame for all their problems and a country they hate? They probably don't speak English and have probably never seen half the modern appliances we take for granted.
They will settle in for one reason: revenge against America.

In my zeal I made an error, I meant to state the following:

In order to defeat an enemy you must first undertand that he is your enemy.

Thank you post people for being kind and not pointing out my mistake. smile.
