| - | One of the things that people clearly | 0:19 |
| did not understand about the CSRTs, | 0:21 | |
| is that notwithstanding what Secretary England said, | 0:24 | |
| that anybody found not to be an enemy combatant | 0:28 | |
| will be released, that's not true. | 0:29 | |
| And it was never true. | 0:32 | |
| And I think at least people higher up in the chain | 0:34 | |
| clearly understood that statement that he had made | 0:38 | |
| not to be true at the time that it was made. | 0:40 | |
| And that was for the simple reason | 0:43 | |
| that the entire CSRT process was advisory. | 0:44 | |
| That is that you had the senior civilian executive, | 0:49 | |
| under who OARDEC operated, | 0:55 | |
| and he would get the results of the CSRTs, | 0:57 | |
| and he could choose to accept them or to disregard them. | 1:00 |
