And they apparently caught two of his captors;
should make an example of them, but we're too busy rending our garments over some alleged mistreatment of our own prisoners.

Sounds like they meant to release him. They moved him to an isolated spot and left him unguarded.

They bundled him into a Humvee and got him out of the immediate area before treating his arm and offering him food and water. He took the water, but declined the food, saying he had already been fed that morning.

Obviously not a hobbit, but still wonderful news!

The best part of this story is they went back and captured the guys who were holding him. Ya got to love it. Welcome home Hamill. You are a hero.
