The Pentagon might release some Guantanamo Bay detainees deemed not to pose a security threat without first giving them access to civilian courts, a spokesman said Thursday. Larry Di Rita, chief spokesman for Defence Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, told a news conference that no final decisions have been made about how the government will respond to Supreme Court decisions this week requiring that detainees be given a way to challenge their incarceration. But he said it was possible that if it could be determined some people need not be held then they also "need not necessarily be part of a judicial process."
