Who is Clint Williamson?

Clint Williamson is an American lawyer and diplomat. In 2006 he was appointed Ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues. He is the State Department official responsible for negotiating another home for Guantanamo captives who can't be returned to their home countries.

On 16 October 2008 Williamson, the State Department official responsible for negotiating a new home for the captives, complained that the Justice Department's recent description of the Uyghurs had undermined his efforts. The Justice Department had recently filed an emergency motion objecting to transferring the Uyghur captives in Guantanamo to the United States.
