A very hard word to spell. However, the article brings up the subject of the uighurs, who I believe were ordered 'released' earlier this year or last year. China won't let them come home, and no other country seems to want to patriate them.
China uses the Uighurs politically, I think, much like the US uses al qaeda, exagerating their threat level to justify extra-legal activities. Given the near civil war currently raging in Algeria, I wonder if these prisoners will actually ever be released at all, or if they will be languishing in their freedom in other cells, waiting for some country to agree to take them.
Guantanamo will be a self-sustaining shit storm for such reasons long after it is closed, or its operations moved to less infamous digs.
