 File under: Islamic State 

#1 The unidentified American, who has not been charged, surrendered to U.S.-backed fighters in Syria around Sept. 12 and is currently being held in Iraq as an unlawful enemy combatant.

Sorry Judgee, there is no legal authority at play here. It's outside American jurisdiction on foreign territory (see - imperialism and extra-territoriality). For grins and as an example to others, turn him over to the Iraqis as an unlawful combatant to be handled accordingly.

#2 P2K, note: "...picked up months ago on the Syrian battlefield..."
Give him to Assad (*Evil Grin*)... He can always petition there for Consular Access. Do we have a Consulate there since the previous administration decided the Assads were too icky?

#4 Illegal combatant, huh? Let me check the Geneva conventions. That's right. Give him a drumhead court martial. Then execute him. Wouldn't want us to violate international law, would you?
