UIGHURS REVISTED

The Financial Times has a story today (which I will not link because of their very ignorant link policy) entitled "US fails to find countries to take Uighurs." I have previously blogged about these Muslim "Chinese" and their separatist movement. Therefore, the article interested me.

It turns out that we have roughly two dozen Uighurs at Guantanamo. We want to release about half of them because they have no intelligence value. However, we don't want to send them "home" to China, because we are afraid the Chinese might execute them. Therefore, we have asked Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Finland, Italy, France, Portugal, and Turkey to take them in as refugees. All have refused.

Two things. First, are they terrorist-types or not? If so, why would Norway be equipped to take them, and if not, why not take them as refugees in the United States?
