published formerly secret assessments drafted by Joint Task Force Guantanamo analysts. A Joint Task Force Guantanamo detainee assessment was drafted on May 14, 2008. It was eleven pages long and was signed by camp commandant Rear Admiral David M. Thomas Jr. He recommended continued detention. Guantanamo Joint Review Task Force When he assumed office in January 2009, President Barack Obama made a number of promises about the future of Guantanamo. He promised the use of torture would cease at the camp. He promised to institute a new review system. That new review system was composed of officials from six departments, where the OARDEC reviews were conducted entirely by the Department of Defense. When it reported back, a year later, the Joint Review Task Force classified some individuals as too dangerous to be transferred from Guantanamo, even though there was no evidence to justify laying charges against them.

Abdul Rahman Shalabi was one of the 71 individuals deemed too innocent to charge, but too dangerous to release.

Carol Rosenberg, of the Miami Herald, was the first to report on this recommendation.

His height was recorded as 68 inches, putting the healthy range for his height at between 118 and 160 pounds. On September 26, 2009, Shalabi drafted a letter describing medical problems being made worse through medical decisions being countermanded by a new "officer in charge". On November 3, 2009, the Associated Press reported that a recent affidavit from David Wright the chief doctor at Guantanamo, stated Shalabi's weight had dropped
