Review: Guantanamo Detainee Wrongly Held

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON -- A military review has determined a second prisoner held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is wrongly classified as an enemy combatant, and he will be will released to his home country soon, a Pentagon official said Monday.

Navy Secretary Gordon England refused to provide the man's name or nationality, and the circumstances of his original capture were not immediately available. The State Department has been notified of the decision and will make arrangements to return him home.

The prisoner would be the second to be released under a military process instituted to help satisfy the Supreme Court's ruling this summer that prisoners at Guantanamo could challenge their detentions through the U.S. court system.

England stopped short of saying the latest prisoner determined to be wrongly classified as an enemy combat had been held as a mistake.

"I don't think there's a right or wrong answer to this. I think this is a gray area," he said.
