Strap the bombs on him, put a timer on and send him packing.

What? There are terrorists in Iraq?

When will the mainstream media tell all the Americans that rely on television and big newspapers for their news?

[Logic n' Reason]

"Whenever legal conditions permit, kill terrorists on the spot (do not give them a chance to surrender, if you can help it). Contrary to academic wisdom, the surest way to make a martyr of a terrorist is to capture, convict and imprison him, leading to endless efforts by sympathizers to stage kidnappings, hijacking and other events intended to liberate the imprisoned terrorist(s). This is war, not law enforcement."

The one and only (as far as I'm aware)real problem with your approach is that you neglect to use available human intelligence sources that really KNOW what is going on in terrorist circles. Find out what they know. Then turn them over to Iraqi authorities.
