Dear Sir,

Bravo to Bermuda for the courage to take in four innocent men. It's apparent that the Chinese Uighurs were wrongly taken. It is shameful that my country held them for so long before admitting to their innocence. And it is cowardly that we will have nothing to do with them.  

Who knew that such a small country could make such a large statement for good, and that our supposedly 'free' democratic nations would shrink from their duty to support basic human rights.
