*The top military official involved in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/osama-bin-laden-killed-in-us-raid-buried-at-sea/2011/05/02/AFx0yAZF_story.html>said
Tuesday that the Obama administration has no clear plan for handling
suspected terrorist leaders if they are caught alive outside a war zone.*
The only plan has been to close Gitmo and bring these terrorist to American
soil to grant them constitutional rights.
Vice Adm. William H.
McRaven<http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/adm-william-mcraven-the-terrorist-hunter-on-whose-shoulders-osama-bin-laden-raid-rested/2011/05/04/AFsEv4rF_story.html>told
a Senate panel that contingency plans for detaining terrorism suspects
are developed on an ad hoc basis and approved by the White House, but that
there are *no set rules*. “That is always a difficult issue for us,” he
testified. “No two cases seem to be alike.”
In response to senators’ questions, McRaven said that “in many cases”
suspects captured in secret operations by Navy SEALs or the Army’s Delta
Force are taken to a U.S. Navy ship until they can be tried in a U.S. court
or transferred to the custody of an allied country. But if neither option
turns out to be feasible, the prisoner is ultimately let go, he said.
“If we can’t do either one of those, then we will release that individual,”
McRaven said in response to a question from Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.).
“I mean, that becomes the unenviable option, but it is an option.”
McRaven did not describe any specific cases in which prisoners were freed.
