#1 How about some sniper drills him in the head and we grant him amnesty?

#2 I would favor amnesty for "insurgents" who bump off SCIRI leaders, too. Seems' only fair. Toss in DAWA.

#3 That's not at all an unreasonable expectation. This is a war, and the American troops are the enemy - to those we are fighting. In wars the enemy's soldiers are fair game, and when the war is over amnesty is given for killing them. Without that, every war would be a war of extermination, not surrender. The amnesty is linked to the surrender.
The amnesty would only apply to deaths caused under the generally accepted rules of war. One could include Iraqi Army & Police as legitimate targets as well, and even civilians killed as collateral damage in attacks aimed at 'legitimate' targets. Where amnesty would not be granted is in cases where the targets were illegitimate - markets, mosques, NGOs, family members, etc. That still leaves a lot of killers to deal with.
