The Uyghurs we’d captured were militants related to the Turkistan Islamic Party. They had a training camp in Afghanistan. They later sent fighters to Syria. China had good reason to want them back.
One of the Gitmo Uyghurs had seriously beaten a female medical or dental assistant. I don’t know which country took him in for resettlement, but I hope it was far from here.
The bounty hunter meme is misleading crap. In most such cases, the “bounty hunters” were either the Northern Alliance or the Pakistani government. You’ll see pictures of flyers that the U.S. government printed offering rewards. What they don’t tell you is that the flyers sent to Pakistan were put in storage at the U.S. embassy because they didn’t want to agitate the locals.
