At the beginning of Chapter 7, two Kuwaiti detainees remain, Fawzi Al Odah and Fayiz Al Kandari, both of whom had their habeas petitions denied and appeared to be out of options. The US government was not talking to the detainees’ legal teams or to the Kuwaiti government. It was feared that they would be “forever prisoners”; the long project to repatriate these men would fail. At a cocktail party, Marcia Newell of the Core Team spoke to Hillary Clinton and told her that they were on opposite sides of an issue because she represented the Kuwaiti detainees; Clinton told Newell to call Ambassador Dan Fried, the key person on Guantanamo. They met at a noisy coffee shop. Newell proposed an Inter-Agency Working Group between the two governments. Fried indicated he was considering such cooperation and a parole-like process. Thus, began a working relationship that resulted in the development of a forward-looking Periodic Review Board process and the development of a rehabilitation center and security protocols that led to the ultimate return of the final two Kuwaiti detainees.
