That was my original thought...why leave these lethal weapons alive to kill you tomorrow?
Must be bigwigs...or at least have knowledge Israel could use.
We should have let the Israelis go in on those helicopters back in 1979 to attempt that rescue...no disrespect to our fine soldiers of course. ;^)
Entebbe II. The Israelis never fail to impress us, don't they?

"take no prisoners would seem the way to go..
I say, squeeze them until they talk...then squeeze them until their heads pop...no need to keep a liability around...and by all means, video the "interogations", especially focusing on their heads exploding...send the video to Al Jazeera so muslims can have some help in deciding whether the 72 virgins are worth it, or will they make due with women who wear burkas who apparently aren't virgins.
