Andy McCarthy at NRO's The Corner quotes a letter from Rep. Frank Wolfe (R.-Va.) to Attorney General Holder regarding the Uighurs and their imminent release into the United States:
"I have grave concerns that you are playing fast and loose with the definition of “terrorist” and may be misleading the American people regarding its plans to release the Uyghur detainees into the U.S. Let me be very clear – the Uyghurs held at Guantanamo Bay are trained terrorists and members or associates of the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), a designated terrorist group affiliated with al Qaeda, as designated by both the U.S. government and the United Nations (U.N.). Whether their intended victims were Chinese or Americans, a trained terrorist is a terrorist."
Here's my virtual high-five to Rep. Wolfe!
