This morning, a judge ordered the release of 17 Chinese Uighur “terrorists" from Guantanamo. The 17 were released because they are admittedly noncombatants who pose no threat to the U.S. They have been held since 2004 because (a) the U.S. doesn’t want them and (b) China would almost certianly execute them for treason if they were repatriated.
Why is this a debate preview? Because I expect that tonight, McCain will accuse an “activist judge” of “ordering the release of 17 dangerous Muslim terrorists to the custody of William Ayers, as requested by Senator Obama.”
