#1 Oh, right. Yemen has these special super-duper double-secret laws that have to be invoked when it's their Islamic brothers on trail for killing some measley infidels. It's right there in the Shari'a Code For Sinking Infidel Warships In Port - of course, Allan saw it coming. Anyway, sheesh, what's the big deal, here? They were just infidels. Dismiss the charges, Al Kattaa. It's your job to figure out how.

A cynic might say you'd be hard-pressed to locate evidence of the law in any other circumstance.

I prefer the unmanned drone version used successfully in the past. With the bin Laden piggy bank drying up, there are opportunities... Pay a little for intel, pay a little more for independent verification, put a drone with Mavericks up for the intercept, and fire the law right up their asses if everything matches. Okay, okay, I know that's really easy to say and really serendipitous when it happens. But it can happen. Cuz it did happen. So...

#2 *Shrug* They were imprisoned awaiting trial for either two weeks or four years (I can't translate that particular sentence of the article into sensible prose). They remain imprisoned awaiting final sentencing after having been found guilty. They aren't going anywhere, and they likely aren't enjoying their current abode, so from our perspective what's the difference?

#3 They aren't going anywhere
Remember, this is Yemen we're talking about. Each of these guys has escaped and been recaptured about 5 times.

Stateside the prisons have prisonyards and exercise equipment. Over there they get their exercise by running away for a little while.
