U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend, the first time one of the accused perpetrators of the 2012 assault has been apprehended, according to U.S. officials. The officials said Ahmed Abu Khattala was captured Sunday near Benghazi by American troops, working alongside the FBI, following months of planning, and was now in U.S. custody “in a secure location outside Libya.” The officials said there were no casualties in the operation, and that all U.S. personnel involved have safely left Libya

Yeah, we don't want to hold terrorists accountable or anything.

Why capture him? Now we've got to spend millions of dollars incarcerating him, putting him on trial, providing lawyers for his defense, etc.

A double tap would have worked just fine.....

How do we know this dude was really involved? Because the administration says so? They could go out and catch any Muslim and say he was involved - how would we know any difference?

Why capture him? Now we've got to spend millions of dollars incarcerating him, putting him on trial, providing lawyers for his defense, etc. just to turn him loose again.
