#1 Is it just me or has anyone noticed these “escapes” often follow either high-level AQ captures or kills?

This sentence in the QDR made me think of something I thought was just one of my doctor evil ideas to fight terrorist.

SOF tech abilities:PG 43
“For direct action, they will possess an expanded organic ability to locate, TAG, and TRACK dangerous individuals and other high-value targets GLOBALLY.” (Emphasis mine)

I have seen many rumors and actual articles about RFID’s and sniper gun RFID’s whole new meaning to sting like a bee. Just like naturalist tag and release to find out the migration routes feeding spots ect… coupled with a Predator and you got your human intel and he don’t even know it.

This is Sci-Fi but I know they could implant a chip into the inner ear or jawbone to catch conversations but I wonder if they could make a power source/transmitter able to transmit at reasonable distance for a decent amount of time?

I guess we will find out on some discovery special in about 30-40yrs.

#2 Just me, but the only "plant" should be a bullet into their skull. Why do we incarcerate these people? We kill roaches don't we?

#3 You wouldn't be able to power a chip very long, and one that size would most likely be detactable. A RFI tag needs no power supply, it most closely resembles a electronic tuning fork, it vibrates a specific frequency when in a elecronic scanning field. Only works at close range, but could be useful at customs points to look out for "people of interest".

#5 Incarcerating them does nothing.
1. Capture
2. Interrogate for intel
3. Bring before a military tribunal
4. Execute
5. Dispose of i/a/w hazardous waste regs
6. Go to 1

You do not have to be a sadist, but Jihadis need to know that capture is a one-way trip to the roach motel. The are broken people and they will kill again if they can. This is the reality.

#6 Steve

I was thinking more along the lines of RTLS or GPS-15 type trackers.

I have seen wide life transmitters with GPS tech placed on animals that is rather small they last around a year. The smaller being about the size of my hand a decent doctor could put one in a chest cavity on the backside of a rib or such.

From what I gather a lot of the RTLS range is about the receiving antenna. Blue tooth and WiFi has also come along way I would imagine a couple of egg heads in a room could put something together. All you need is an area location not what side of the room or even what house. Once you get on station you can observer to figure out those details.

Nobody is saying the end game should be anything short death but these guys should be squeezed for all the intel they are worth. And if we could use’em as a decoy to find out the locations of hideouts and meeting spots that’s worth more in the long run than punching his card now.

Goes back to the idea that its more important to capture a suicide bomber because if you can catch him and squeeze him for info on his support network bomb maker recruiter ect… those peoples capture contribute to the destruction of the roots not just the buds. It’s why if you want to kill weeds you don’t cut em you pull em.

I think in 30-40yrs when the classification falls off we are going to hear about all kinds of stuff that was done. This is a clandestine and SOF war more than even the cold war was I would guess even by a factor.

#8 This is war not a police investigation. Particularly when we "trust" a foreign government(?) like Yemen to incarcerate these cockroaches, it is much more effective to punch their ticket.

Besides this assclown was already being "held" and presumably being interrogated. You can bet your ass that the harshest treatment from the US was an Indian tickle.

#9 For the record, folks, Jamal al-Badawi was captured in November 2002 or should I say recaptured.

He has more than one escape.

#13  Al-Badawi was among those sentenced to death in September 2004 so what year is it now??
While I agree that the intel is good to get, how about planting someone on the inside to get the info. But shortly thereafter get the plant out and kill the detainee. Don't allow them to have time to escape, or risk lives guarding them.
