The 17 Uighurs held in Gitmo are innocent of any wrongdoing but have been imprisoned since 2001. In 2007, five Uighur detainees were released to Albania. A couple of days ago the Obama administration announced that the nation of Palau had agreed to take in temporarily some or all of the Uighurs. And today, the Justice Department [sic] announced that the country of Bermuda has accepted four Uighurs for permanent resettlement.
