Uighurs Working at Bermuda Golf Course
By Matthew DeLong 8/5/09 4:48 PM

This is nice.

Four Muslims from China once confined to small prison cells as suspected terrorists at Guantánamo are now sprucing up the wide-open spaces of an oceanside golf course for the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.

The Uighurs who moved to the British island territory in June have joined crews working toward the October tournament, said Wendall Brown, chairman of the board of trustees for Bermuda’s public golf courses. <...>

Steve Johnson, who oversees landscaping and land cultivation for the golf courses, said the new hires are doing “very well” in their jobs.

“They have only just started, but they are doing what everyone else does, starting at the bottom and fitting in,” he said Tuesday.

1. I can't believe the other Uighurs don't want to go to Palau. I mean really.

So instead they sit in Gitmo. Odd.

I love the Bermuda Uighurs story. :)

I wonder if they are hoping to get to Bermuda instead. Sure as hell don't want to go back to China. Eeekkkkkk.

2. I don't blame them about Palau. It's gorgeous, but it's an

island in the middle of nowhere. :scared: I lived on an island near there for a year, and couldn't wait to find a rock somewhere!
