“In May 2004 the Department of Defense announced the formation of an Administrative Review Board (ARB). The ARB assessed whether detainees [at Guantanamo] posed a threat to the United States or its allies in the war on terror and whether other factors, such as a suspect’s intelligence value, required his continued detention. There were three options: release, transfer to a third country, or continued detention. In the Administrative Review Board’s first round of assessments, nearly 30 percent of detainees whose cases were reviewed were deemed eligible for release or transfer from Guantanamo.” [The 15th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
