According to a Human Rights Watch report a Saudi named Khalid al-'Uaizi, and two other Saudis, were repatriated, from extrajudicial (WP) detention in the United States (WP) Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, to Saudi custody on July 20, 2005.[1][2] This name does not match any on the official list of the names of all detainees held in military custody at Guantanamo, released on May 15, 2006.

Once the list of detainees that were released was made official by the Department of 'Defense', it became apparent that Unaizi's place and particulars on the list was actually held, on the DoD list, by Khalid Sulayman Jaydh Al Hubayshi (WP)

Whether Human Rights Watch got it wrong, or The DoD information they were working from was wrong, or some other explanation is the cause, is not known.

As of May 26, 2006 the three remained held, without charge, in Riyadh's al-Ha'ir prison.

Hubayshi was released as part of a Saudi program especially for the detainees, with great propaganda value for those that support the detentions, but all too late and little for those who had to endure them, and which does absolutely nothing for those remaining in incarceration. The Christian Science Monitor and other news sources described the program as "Cash and Counseling".[3]

"The young Saudi's break with militant jihadi ideology was not as swift. It started in Guantánamo, but ripened only after he returned home in 2005 to an unexpected reception. Mr. Hubayshi was treated to a mix of forgiveness, theological reeducation, psychological counseling, prison time, and cash." </li> </ol>
