#5 Article: Lt. Col. Matt Kelley, the 1st Battalion commander, said the way Indians ambushed and disarmed two insurgents impressed him. American troops, in the same drill, simply shot and killed the men, he said.

"They've just gained huge intelligence value from that instead of killing them, they've captured them," Kelley said. "All our guys said whoa we'd never do that. We could do it."

That's because battle casualties mean nothing to Indian commanders. An American commander with the same attitude would rapidly find himself in the private sector. The reality is that all of this "intelligence-gathering" hasn't ended a guerrilla war that has killed tens of thousands of Indians over decades.

#6 #4 ZF - It might also be because the Indians don't have to worry about the NYT, NBCCBSABCetc., and a bunch of grandstanding congressmen calling them criminals for interrogating non-uniformed combatants, and insisting on affording captured foreign terrorists the same rights American citizens have.

I quite frankly hope our forces never capture another terrorist. Kill him, according to the Geneva Convention that he and his ilk will never follow, and capture any cell phones, computers, papers, etc. They'll probably get as much useful information.
