Official status reviews

Originally the Bush Presidency asserted that captives apprehended in the "war on terror" were not covered by the Geneva Conventions, and could be held indefinitely, without charge, and without an open and transparent review of the justifications for their detention.[3] In 2004 the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Rasul v. Bush, that Guantanamo captives were entitled to being informed of the allegations justifying their detention, and were entitled to try to refute them.

Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants

Following the Supreme Court's ruling the Department of Defense set up the Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants.[3][6]

Scholars at the Brookings Institution, led by Benjamin Wittes, listed the captives still held in Guantanamo in December 2008, according to whether their detention was justified by certain common allegations:[7]

Habeas corpus petition

Hayal Aziz Ahmed Al-Mithali habeas corpus petition was first filed on November 7, 2005.[8]

On July 18, 2008 Jennifer R. Cowan renewed his habeas petition.[8]

Periodic Review

Al Maythal's Guantanamo Review Task Force had concurred with earlier review boards, and recommended he be classed as too dangerous to release, although there was no evidence to justify charging him with a crime.[9][10][11]

Critics called it an overdue acknowledgment that the so-called Combatant Status Review Tribunals are unfairly geared toward labeling detainees the enemy, even when they pose little danger. Simply redoing the tribunals won't fix the problem, they said, because the system still allows coerced evidence and denies detainees legal representation.

Yemeni Hayl Maythali, another Karachi 6 captive, held at Guantánamo since October 2002, "probably acted briefly as a guard" at a bin Laden compound in Kandahar, but a March 7, 2006, reassessment retreated from Karachi terror cell membership. It said he "was probably awaiting a chance to return to Yemen when he was arrested" at a Karachi safe house, rather than being "part of an al-Qaida operational cell intended to support a future attack."
