We should have executed him while we had the chance;0 I am surprised that he is not more resentful, I think I would have been. I remember the hand ringing by propellers more conservative members about Obama releasing terrorists in the US.

I brought this subject up on propeller many moons ago and am very happy that at least some of the Uighurs have finally got out.
I hope that Obama finds the time to deal with this problem in regard to those who remain incarcerated in Guantanamo.
And blessings on Abu Bakker who is not content with his own freedom but seeks to free his brothers.
FTA:
Abu Bakker is the oldest of the five Uighurs released to date and, he has a mission to fulfill. There are still 17 Uighurs imprisoned at Guantanamo, innocent, as he says, but without a place to go. They can't return to China's Xinjiang region, where they are branded as "separatists" and persecuted, and yet no country has volunteered to accept them. And so Abu Bakker, the pizza maker from Tirana, has taken it upon himself to be the voice of his powerless Uighur brothers. -
