Combatant Status Review Tribunals
Detainees at Guantanamo Bay are determined to be "enemy combatants" or "non-enemy combatants" during what are known as Combatant Status Review Tribunals (CSRTs). Many critics have pointed out the flaws of the process, including:
- The government controls what evidence and witnesses are permitted.
- Evidence obtained by torture is admissible.
- The detainees have no lawyer representing them.
- There is no guarantee of due process.
- The process is designed to get the government the results it wants—-some detainees were sent through the CSRT process as many as three times until they were found guilty.

Famous quotes containing the words status and/or review:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“As I review my life, I feel I must have missed the point, either then or now.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
