Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Now lets deal with the political reality of the situation. If confirmed by the FBI and DOJ that he is a US citizen, the DOJ will then charge him with supporting terrorism and will be extradited to the USA for trial.

Nahhh, just let them keep him. We can use the money for other stuff, like to save whales or something.

Write me in here on historical precedent?
Also, crimes were committed against Iraqi citizens.

It might not. We traded five terrorists for one deserter. Why would we expect our president or State Department to be any smarter this time?

You are sure of that?

That Iraq won't charge him as a criminal? Because under most extradition agreements [if there is one with Iraq] he will have to face any and all charges laid in the originating country. Unless there is some serious **** hidden here or the US wants him for intelligence, he will come home again, in a box

Roman Polanski. All French citizens are protected from extradition.

As he confused refugees with terrorists. If I recall correctly he (TAT) is against accepting any refugees.

I'm against accepting refugees from the ME. No problem with Asian or Latin American refugees.

I doubt very much that there is one. Section 3 of Article III of the Constitution defines Treason, but says nothing about citizenship.

An argument might be made that he is a traitor, but it would be a very weak argument, except in one of the corrupt courts of the US judiciary.
