#1 I've noticed that in many of these reports the number arrested is very high as compared to the number killed. Does that mean they are being surprised or they are not resisting to the death?

#2 Killed 'em first?! B*A*N*G - "You have the right to remain silent...." Beats the he## out of providing them the almost cruise-class accomodations at Gitmo! Excellent.......

#3 The reason we are arresting and not killing has more to do with the "overlawyered" ROEs and need for humint residing in detainees. Much as I would prefer to kill them on the spot, the reason the counter-insurgency is working so well is the G2 we are getting from the "surrenderees".

#4 "You have the right to remain dead. You have the right to assume the ambient room temperature. You have the right to turn into simple organic compounds."
