#2 He's in the calaboose, but his PKK gunnies are still in northern Iraq. The Iraqi Kurds -- Talabani's bunch, anyway, and presumably Barzani's -- want a general amnesty for them, rather than for us to shoot them up and chase them out. The Turks are stuck with keeping Ocalan in jail, but if they were to shoot him or something then they'd draw more Kurds to KADEK and engender more sympathy for them.

The problem's political much more than it's a military problem.
