Guantanamo Detainee Transfer Policy and Recidivism by Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities,, Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives Pdf
In the first days of this administration, the President issued three executive orders that set forth a robust agenda to develop a more sustainable detention policy that reflects our values. Besides directing Guantanamo's closure, a policy to which the administration remains committed, the President ordered a comprehensive review of detainees remaining at the detention facility to determine the disposition most appropriate to each individual. This review, concluding in January 2010, involved a task force of senior officials from across the government. The recently signed executive order builds on this effort by providing a periodic review for covered detainees that again looks to the interagency for unanimous agreement on any decision to transfer.
