Thank you, Syag. My own son is out there serving in a combat unit right now. I hope he will never have to encounter a terrorist, but our boys in uniform are automatically targets, and if G-d forbid he is ever in such a situation, I am sickened to think the army would prefer he risk his own life and those of his fellow soldiers to protect a known terrorist just in case the terrorist turns out after the fact not to have been an immediate danger. I hope this soldier will be fully cleared and that our combat soldiers will not be given the message that engaging in combat might get them charged with murder. In my eyes this is not only despicable treatment of our soldiers (they work SO hard!!!), but endangers ALL of us because it empowers terrorists.
