These two men should be made an example of.
They should be transferred to US custody AFTER BEING MIRANDIZED. Do not interrogate them for intelligence in the field. If you do, you will risk invalidating evidence that can be admitted in an Article 3 US court. In the early post 9/11 confusion John Lindh was captured while incapacitated at mazar-i-sharif . He was eventually charged with a mish-mash of offenses and tried with evidence that had been contaminated by non judicial system contact with him when first captured. He is presently in federal prison but declares that he will return to the fight when released.
Let us not make the mistake again of making that possible. pl
