The jailbreak earlier today at the Khalis prison in Iraq, in which dozens of people were killed, including 6-12 police depending on whom you ask, shows that it is not good policy to arrest terrorists, and treat them as criminals. If you are engaging in a war against terrorists, I say FIGHT that war, and KILL the enemy. If you arrest them and house them in prisons, you run the risk of having their pals come to break them out, and all the grief that comes with that.
As an Israeli official said on the Kelly File show not long ago, you don't negotiate with terrorists, you fight them. You don't arrest them, you kill them, just like any other soldier on the battlefield. If you take the Obama approach of arresting them and treating them as criminals to be tried in civilian courts, the jailbreak that occured today, which ISIS is taking the credit for, is always a possibility.
And it could be worse than that. Jailbreaks are common in Iraq and usually a result of assaults from militants seeking to free their comrades in prison. The most stunning one was in mid-2013, when militants carried out a carefully orchestrated attack with mortar shells and suicide bombers on Iraq's infamous Abu Ghraib prison, freeing more than 500 inmates. You'd think the Iraqis would have learned from that.
As my ex- Army National Guard Battalion Commander, Lt. Colonel Shea, once said > "The way we deal with our enemies is simple. "We kill them."
