Summarized Transcripts of Administrative Review Board Hearings
The DoD also released an incomplete set of four portable document format files containing summarized transcripts from administrative review board hearings. Over the next six weeks the DoD released 15 more portable document format files containing transcripts. Most of these transcripts do not contain the detainees names. However, almost all the transcripts bear the detainee's Guantanamo ID number on the lower right hand corner of each page, and on April 20, 2006, and on May 15, 2006, the DoD released lists of the detainees, with their associated detainee IDs.
In early September 2007 the Department of Defense published additional documents from the second set of Review Board hearings convened in 2006.
The Department published ten portable document format files. Less than twenty percent of the remaining captives participated in their hearings. The Department only published transcripts of the hearings for which captives chose to participate.

That she is under ban
Of all good men and women,
Being mentioned with a man
That has the worst of all bad names.”
