besides i thought the point of capturing these terrorist criminals was to punish them?
Good find. I've read that before, and this was based on the UCMJ and not civilian law, which is still a problem between Holder and the Congress as to what laws these guys fall under.
Of course we want to punish them, so to speak. Yet, we want to get as much info from them as we can. Sometimes it takes a long period of time before we even know what questions to ask, to get the info we need.
