The Slow Forward March of Progress
By Some good news for the new year:
In what the Pentagon called a “significant milestone” in the effort to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, the military announced Tuesday that the United States had transferred three Chinese detainees to Slovakia.
The three were the last of 22 ethnic Uighurs from China who were captured after the American invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and brought to Guantánamo.
Admittedly, I’m sure Mitt Romney would have done the same thing. Now, if the Republicans had nominated somebody who thought “double Guantanamo” represented a sensible approach, that would be a different story.
