1. (C) POLOFF delivered notification of the upcoming ARB
hearing to Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) official Feisal
Al-Eneizi on June 6.
2. (C) POLOFF inquired about the development status of a
Government of Kuwait (GOK) threat mitigation plan for use
with detainees transferred from Guantanamo to the GOK in the
future as discussed during a visit by a USG interagency team
in March, 2007 (ref B). Eneizi responded that he was
preparing an update on the detainee issue for the Amir
following the Foreign Minister's recent USG meetings during
his trip to the United States in late May. He said
information on this issue would be included in the report and
that any additional mitigation measures would be identified
after the Amir's review of the report. (Note: Post has
raised the issue of new mitigation measures with the MFA
several times since the USG interagency visit and has not
received any indication of progress on the issue. End note.)
