A U.S. appeals court reversed a ruling Wednesday that would have transferred 17 Guantanamo Bay detainees, none of whom are labeled enemy combatants, to the United States.The ruling casts further uncertainty on the fate of the Turkic-speaking Muslims from western China. Because there is no evidence they plotted or fought against the United States, the government has no authority to hold them at Guantanamo Bay, but deciding what to do with the men has been a diplomatic problem for years.
Yeah, well, what’s the hurry? They’ve already spent several years in prison for no reason. They’re getting the hang of it now.
In statesmanship get the formalities right, never mind about the moralities. --Mark Twain
