While many Arab and Muslim countries participated in the CIAs brutal and inhumane torture program, none of them petitioned on behalf of the prisoners in Guantanamo, and it was left to the South American country of Uruguay to welcome a batch of released prisoners into their land: theguardian/world/2014/dec/11/guantanamo-prisoners-urugay-jose-mujica-happy The prisoners were transported in US planes blindfolded, chained and handcuffed, but the authorities in Uruguay insisted that they not be taken out of the plane in such a manner, and that they should be completely freed even before exiting the plane. Upon release, they were immediately given free health check ups, housed in free apartments, and job offers began to pour in. Crowds cheered as they saw the detainees and welcomed them to their new land. I have never been to Uruguay, but after reading this, I know that I need to pay them a visit!!
