Well, if he's dead, they can't extract information from him.
I like that word. Extract. Like the intel is inside him and it is being slowly pulled out. I hope they get a chance to extract much intelligence from this guy.
Me, too. It also implies the use of a tool- and to my mind tools of extraction tend to be shiny and stainless steel.
Although the extra intel would be a boon, it would be simpler to bring him out dead. Then you don't have to worry about "rights" and "humane treatment" and "fair trials" and such.
