#3  #1 How many times have they been captured before? How long before they're released?

Detaining them for a fortnight or less, getting the solicitors immediately involved, then releasing them provides a lovely respite from their labors. Cuts down on the Karzai bitching and moaning. It also keeps the long-term detainment totals in check. No need to push it to a point where the buggers pull a Sarpoza escape. Investigations, threats, bribes, bad press and all that.
