The White House plans to use more military commissions to try detainees held at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, removing a ban on new cases against inmates there for the first time since President Obama took office, The New York Times reports.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates is set to erase the ban, paving the way for tribunal officials to set charges against detainees, the Times reports, calling the reversal “an acknowledgment that the prison in Cuba remains open for business after Congress imposed steep new impediments to closing the facility.”

An executive order being prepared would also establish a “parole board-like system” for examining the cases of dozens of Guantanamo inmates held without trial, the paper reports.
