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.

[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.
