#1 Perhaps this will keep 0bean from releasing the last tranche of prisoners . . . .

#2 Sadly, the action is likely to illustrate how weak the 'catch and release' protocols really are as well as exposing sensitive collection methods.

#3 Flynn needs to go pay Cruz an office visit on Monday and explain why this really is a bad idea.

Calling them murdering SOB's is good enough for me. I need no further evidence.

#4 I wouldn't mind seeing some of the info, but a lot of the specifics would have to be kept classified I think.

Either way, dropping them off over the Atlantic at 15,000 feet is the best way to "release" them.

#5 Typically POWs are kept for the duration. I don't think Al Queda has surrendered.

#8 Grom is correct. They are not POWs under the Geneva convention and international law pretty much just sees them as unlawful combatants.
