Pentagon dossier to detail secretive US Afghan detainee policy

Pentagon dossier to detail secretive US Afghan detainee policy - PakTribune
"As with Guantanamo, some prisoners at the Parwan detention center are considered by the US government too dangerous to be freed. Others have unclear links to the Afghan conflict, including a Yemeni arrested in Bangkok and moved to the prison.
The classified dossier could provide US lawmakers a more detailed look at the secretive military detention system and the detainees that have been kept hidden from public view during the nearly 13-year US-led war. And it could raise difficult questions over where and how to resettle them.
If Washington does not, or cannot, keep Parwan open after this year, US officials say prisoners might be detained or tried in the United States, held at sea, repatriated or transferred to third countries, or released when "hostilities" in Afghanistan are over."
