	Numerous detainee's names were spelled differently on the two lists -- some of them markedly so.
	Maqram's name is not on either list. But the DoD released a memo summarizing the factors for and against his continued detention, where his name is spelled '''Murtada Ali Said Maqram'''.<ref name=FactorsMurtadaAliSaidMagram> of ] '']'' - page 56</ref>
	Both official lists contain the similar name '''"Murtadha Al Said Makram"'''. That individual did not participate in either his ] or his ] hearing. His Guantanamo detainee ID number is 187.

	==Combatant Status Review Tribunal==
	{{ReadingCSRTNotice}}

	Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the ] to captives from ]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a ]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of ] status.

	Subsequently the ] instituted the ]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an ].

	To comply with a ] request, during the winter and spring of 2005, the Department of Defense released 507 memoranda. Those 507 memoranda each contained the allegations against a single detainee, prepared for their Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The detainee's name and ID numbers were redacted from all but one of the memoranda. However 169 of the memoranda had the detainee's ID hand-written on the top right hand of the first page corner. When the Department of Defense complied with a ], and released official lists of the detainee's names and ID numbers it was possible to identify who those 169 were written about. Murtadha Al Said Makram was one of those 169 detainees.<ref name=SummaryOfEvidence457>

	==Administrative Review Board hearing==

	Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual ] hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".

	They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat -- or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.

	The factors for and against continuing to detain Maqram were among the 120 that the Department of Defense released on ] ].<ref name=FactorsMurtadaAliSaidMagram> of ] '']'' - page 56</ref>

	===''The following primary factors favor continued detention:===

	<!--
	The following categories contain articles about individuals who almost all have Arabic names.
	Arabic names don't have European style surnames that are inherited, father to son.
	So, there is no point changing the order in which they are sorted in the categories.

	Thanks!
