Eric Kaniut
Captain Eric G. Kaniut of the United States Navy served as the supervising[1] officer over the 2005 OARDEC board, and the Administrative Review Boards convened for each detainee, at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.[2][3]
His 1994 Masters Thesis at the Naval Postgraduate School was entitled United Nations Reform: The Need for Legitimacy[4]
He has been awarded two Defense Meritorious Service Medals, a Meritorious Service Medal, three Navy Commendation Medals and two Navy Achievement Medals.[5]
Guantanamo
According to the International Herald Tribune Kaniut asserted:
- "The bottom line we look at is whether they are a threat to the U.S."
- "...are just like a parole board"
One critic responded to Kaniut's description that the Tribunals and Boards were "just like a parole board" by asking.[6]
"So the detainees, not having been convicted of anything, are facing a parole board: a scenario worthy of Kafka."
According to The New Republic, Kaniut asserted that the protections these procedures provided were "unprecedented".[7]
More than half the captives declined to attend their Administrative Review Board hearings. When asked to explain the lack of participation Kaniut attributed it to the captive's cynicism.[8]
In a profile in The Wire Kaniut said:
- “OARDEC was established about a year ago by the Secretary of Defense, who at that time, determined that there needs to be a review process for all the detainees at Guantanamo to determine which ones here still constitute a threat.”
- ...
- “This is a tribute to America, JTF, and our country as a whole, that we even consider doing this.”
