Terrorism
Extradition

After the Bush administration cabled about 100 countries, practically begging them to take over Guantanamo Bay detainees (including 17 Chinese Uighurs), half a dozen European countries, notably Germany and Portugal, indicated their willingness to accept the prisoners, provided that the US would attach no strings and accept some "common legal principles in the fight against terrorism". German Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly agreed in principle to resettle the Uighur prisoners in Germany without sacrificing relationship with China.
