2. I'm not sure how to feel about this whole thing.
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 05:42 PM by Beacool
Why allow the Chinese to interrogate the detainees, but not allow members of Congress to meet with them? How could they be harmed by them?

The one thing that I do find disturbing is this:

"I had never thought that American soldiers would work with Chinese and treat us like this," wrote Abu Bakker Qassim, a Uighur ex-detainee who provided testimony, through his lawyer, to the committee. Qassim, who applied for political asylum in the United States, now lives in Albania.

"After the Chinese had left, during an interrogation, I asked interrogators why they released all of our materials to the Chinese even though they promised to keep our information confidential; the Chinese could now randomly oppress our family members," Qassim wrote. "They apologized by saying that someone in Washington gave our materials to the Chinese."
