Judge rule leaves two in prison for lack of anything better
A federal judge ruled Thursday that two Chinese Uighur detainees held by the US at Guantanamo Bay could be detained there indefinitely even though their imprisonment was unlawful. US District Judge James Robertson said that the courts simply had no relief to offer the men, who are no longer deemed enemy combatants by the government but who cannot be returned to China, where they could face death or torture because of their Muslim faith. Robertson said an order requiring their release inside the United States was not feasible for a variety of security and diplomatic reasons.
Personally, I think we should be required to make them resident aliens in cases like this. They are not criminals, they can't go home and we are the ones that mucked up their lives.
