Canada Balked at Guantanamo Refugees  0

Posted on August 16th, 2007. About curios & sundry.

it is not the link to this story about Canada balking at Washington’s request to grant asylum to Guantanamo Refugees that gets me (released to the Washingpost under the Access to Information Act).

What gets me is this: (a) the reason America asked Canada to accept the detainees of Uighur decent from China’s Xinjiang region was because they were deemed to be no threat to national security; and (b) today, 17 of the men are still being held and live in isolation for 22 hours a day.

uh, excuse me? can you conceive, let alone imagine, being no threat to national security and being held in isolation for 22 hours EACH day?

good god that makes me sick to my stomach.
