From the scope of the article, the birds in hand, I think he is spot on. He leaves the messy bits of dealing with insurgency out intentionally. I would surmise that he wanted to concentrate on those that we had brought to justice and do them/us a solid and show them what justice is. Problem is POW status, not that they would conform to any manner of fair treatment for our guys if captured, they have proven that already.
