From the last link posted:
The 17 men are Uighurs, an ethnic group from western China. They are accused of receiving weapons and military training in Afghanistan.
Some of the detainees have been cleared for release since 2003, but the United States will not send them back to their homeland because of concern they would be tortured by Chinese authorities.
of course WE should take them in right? Too bad for the Uighurs but I for one dont want them released in our country.
