¶1. (U) Acting Political Counselor informed Department of
Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary of American Affairs Rey
Carandang September 7 of President Bush's decision to move al
Qaeda detainees from CIA to DOD custody in order to bring
them to justice for their crimes, passing him a summary of
the President's speech, as well as the text itself.
Assistant Secretary Carandang stated he had watched the

custody was an important move that reinforced the rule of
law.
