14. Various governments complain about Gitmo, but won't accept a detainee?
(The Gitmo detainee,) (...) who was born and raised in Saudi Arabia . . . remains incarcerated because the United States simply does not know what to do with him. He does not have Saudi citizenship, and U.S. officials are having trouble getting his home country to take him back. U.S. officials do not want to send him to China, where Uighurs are seeking a separate homeland, saying he is likely to be tortured.

Why can't they send him to some reasonably calm part of Afghanistan? If the government of Afghanistan expects US soldiers to risk their lives in Afghanistan and expects tax money from US taxpayers to be spent in Afghanistan, then shouldn't the government of Afghanistan accept at least a few refugees?
