Daily Beast: U.S. Military: American Fighting for ISIS ‘Surrenders’
The U.S. citizen fighting for ISIS was captured in Syria, a well-placed source told The Beast. It’ll be a crucial test for the Trump administration on handling wartime detentions.
The U.S. military confirmed a Daily Beast report Thursday that an American fighting in Syria for the so-called Islamic State has been taken into custody.
“The U.S. citizen is being legally detained by Department of Defense personnel as a known enemy combatant,” Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon said.

Straight to the firing squad!
Let's go the legalistic route.
If we can prove that he was this or that unit that committed war crimes, we execute him via firing squad.
Otherwise, we are at war with ISIS. The War will won't be over for decades. So we hold this person for decades as a POW.
At the end of the war since he gave up his U.S. citizenship when he pledge to ISIS, we deport him to Antarctica. What country would admit to being ISIS-like? Sweden?
We cordon off a part of Antarctica and call it "Coventry". Since we are not cruel we provide this 'new person' with arctic clothing, 3 hot meals, a tent kept at 70 degrees, and perhaps a very sharp knife.
Now, some insipid wag will insist there is not a formal declaration of war and a AUMF is not good enough. We do to that @$$#*!% what hopefully is being done to Cheryl Mills. We have them disbarred.
