That may be fine if the "boys" weren't involved in the deaths of U.S. soldiers. Once they cross that line they cannot simply be released with a pat on the back and a Coca-Cola. Don't kill them unless you have no other choice, but it isn't very smart to simply let them go either.
Ah, but you don't actually know what they Iraqi boys are responsible for. You're just assuming the operation they were caught in was their first. Let's be real here. There is most definately a contradiction. A picking and choosing based on what testimony (and I use that term loosely) is usable and which isn't. The situation for the Afghan boy isn't any different in nature from the Iraqi boys, but the rule of law was bent for one and not the other. Funny how that works out, but it's not your problem... it's mine, and I'll deal with it.
