RELEASE

Review ProcedureslAnnounced for Guantanamo Detainees
; , Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz has issued an order establishing administrative rev eW procedures for enemy comliatants captured in the Afghan theater andd etained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba The new procedures will provide an annual review of each enemy combatant The order is effective immediately
Under this order, each enemy combatant will have a formal opportunity to appear in person before a board of three military officers and explain why he believes that he should be released He will be provided a military officer to assist him in his appearance In addition, the review board will'accept written informtion from the family and national government of the enemy combatant Based on all of this information, as well as submissions by other p S government agencies, the board will assess the current threat posed by the detainee, then recommend to a:high-level Defense oEDepattment official whether the enemy combatant should remain in detention The DoD official, who will be selected by the secretary of defense, then will decide whether the enemy combatant should remain in detention
The release of enemy, combatants prior to the end' of a war is a significant departure from
past U S wartime practices' Enemy combatants are detained for a very practical reason to
Prevent.them from reiuming to the fight That's why the law of war permits their detention
until the end of an armed conflict Although the global war on terror is real and ongoing,
DoD has decided as a matter of policy toi institute these review procedures This process
