The scales here are extremely different. Millions of uighurs are being detained en masse for their race and religion. Guantanamo has 40 inmates who are related to national security. It's a false equivalence and disrespectful to uighurs to compare them to terrorists.

to compare them to terrorists.

There are no terrorists at Guantanamo - at least not until such time as we hold a trial to determine whether they are. In this case that's not splitting hairs, the failure to observe the Bill of Rights is quite the point.

I have no idea whether I agree with your post, because I'm not going to bother to follow the links. If it's not worth your time to at least write a sentence introducing the links, then it's not worth my time to follow them.
