#1 "I don't have him" at its broadest means "he's not in the custody of American forces". It could mean "he's still on the loose", "the Iraqis have him", "some other country has him", or even "he's gone to hell". It does not constitute "scotched".

#2 Seems like he would have said "We don't have him" if he intended to include the iraqi's. Of course, he could just be having fun with the press.

#3 Since we're starting to play capture and release, the meaningful number is how many are deaders.

#4 of the 15,000, does anyone have a handle on how many have been released (even better, how many were released and rearrested)

#5 "I don't have him" could also mean, "My people don't have him." It doesn't speak to the CIA, or even a special interrogation unit offsite somewhere (Ghost Jet, anyone?).
