I sure hope they considered all the possibilities. The article explicitly says the time of the capture was not given. That probably means they squeezed him for a good bit, and are now prepared to follow through on the intel.

If he is a cameraman, he probably has pics of the Al Queda company picnic and softball game, where the frolicking employees had their black hoods off.
