Ryan Grim at The Huffington Post has a nice piece about former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s recent foray into opposing the resettlement of Uighur detainees,
“„“Why does he hate us so much and say those kinds of things? He doesn’t know us. He should talk to our attorneys if he’s curious about our background,” Abbas relates. “How could he speak in such major media with nothing based in fact? They were very disappointed how Newt Gingrich was linking them to ETIM [East Turkistan Islamic Movement] which they never even heard of the name ETIM until they came to Guantanamo Bay.”
