A huge topic of discussion in the news recently has been what to do with the Chinese Uighurs in Gitmo.
17 in all, these Chinese Muslims were trained at Bin Laden camps in Afghanistan but never actually committed a terrorist act.
China considers the Uighurs terrorists and would love to execute them if they were sent home (sounds like a good solution).
As a result, we can’t send them home and we sure as hell don’t want them here.
Fortunately, the nation of Palau stepped up and agreed to take the Uighurs — for $200 million dollars.
With the kind of doe we’ve been spending lately, that’s chump change. At least we’ll be rid of the damn Uighurs.
I suspect most people have never even heard of Palau and couldn’t find it on a map if they had to.
Online travel agency Tours4Fun has an excellent guide to Palau that should help fill any knowledge gaps.
Basically, the Uighurs are being sent to paradise without even having to blow themselves up.
