Great article.

It sure debunks the 'other' story about a 'huge firefight the day earlier'.

Glad he was caught by someone who was able to rough him up a little, and get some peace for his family.

Now, now.  You're not supposed to beat detainees.

Rulers of countries aren't supposed to exterminate their citizens, either.
