gitmo. the obama administration made it clear at the time that it was lawful for some detainees to be held without charges pursuant to the laws of war. such detainees the obama administration believed included those who had significant organizational role with al qaeda, the taliban or associated forces. other detainees the obama administration believed should continue to be lawfully held in 2009 included those who had advanced training or experience, a history of associations with extremist activity or had expressed recidivist intent. in other cases, the obama administration has recommended that certain detainees be prosecuted and some sent to other countries, but even for those gitmo detainees to be sent elsewhere, the obama administration noted that the united states had the legal authority to hold these detainees and the detainees could still be threatening. the obama administration argued then and since that a few selected detainees could be transferred to other countries from gitmo only
