.@ODNIgov reports approximately 17.5% of former detainees transferred to other countries are confirmed of reengaging in terrorist activities

In order to strengthen detainee vetting process, President established an interagency board in 2009 to evaluate detainees on a rolling basis

Board also determines detainees' eligibility for transfer to a third country, prosecution, or continued detention

This is a marked improvement over previous vetting conducted by only a single agency, the @DeptofDefense.

Continued evidence of terrorist reengagement reiterates need to further enhance our detainee review process to assure that custody is secure

There are people who I respect in military with strong opinions on #Guantanamo including former National Security Adviser Jim Jones who said

"America’s greatest attribute in garnering support for #nationalsecurity initiatives is leadership/fidelity to values & principle of justice

Jones added "maintaining the facility at Guantanamo indefinitely will have a lasting and deleterious impact on our standing in the world.”
