Identity

Captive 131 was named inconsistently on the official lists:
* He was named Salem Ahmed Ben Kend on the list of names released on April 20 2006. [http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/detainees_list.pdf list of prisoners (.pdf)] , "US Department of Defense", April 20 2006]
* He was named Salem Ahmed Hadi on the list of names released on May 15 2006. [http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/detaineesFOIrelease15May2006.pdf list of prisoners (.pdf)] , "US Department of Defense", May 15 2006]

Combatant Status Review Tribunal

Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the Geneva Conventions to captives from the war on terror. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct competent tribunals to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.

Subsequently the Department of Defense instituted the Combatant Status Review Tribunal. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were "lawful combatants" -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an enemy combatant.

Administrative Review Board hearings

Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual Administrative Review Board hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".

They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat -- or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.
