Periodic Review Board Hearing Today
Today an interagency review panel will hear, by video hookup, the case of Guantanamo detainee Ali Ahmad al-Razihi. The issue is whether the Yemeni's further detention is necessary to protect a continuing, significant security threat to the United States.
Lawfare won't be in the house today---but, judging by past reviews, the hearing's open session likely will be a pretty quick and scripted affair.

Today an interagency review panel will hear, by video hookup, the case of Guantanamo detainee Ali Ahmad al-Razihi. The issue is whether the Yemeni's further detention is necessary to protect a continuing, significant security threat to the United States.
Lawfare won't be in the house today---but, judging by past reviews, the hearing's open session likely will be a pretty quick and scripted affair. In the meantime, two documents related to the hearing have been posted on the Periodic Review Secretariat's website: Al-Razihi's Guantanamo detainee profile and a supporting statement by his personal representative.
Wells C. Bennett was Managing Editor of Lawfare and a Fellow in National Security Law at the Brookings Institution. Before coming to Brookings, he was an Associate at Arnold & Porter LLP.
