Bottom line, pluck him out, THEN grill him if you have to.

The very valid thing that was said was that he's probably not in Afghanistan anymore. I doubt that there is enough intelligence to know where he is, put he's probably in the tribal region of Afghanistan.

The pragmatic solution is to count him as missing and not mount a rescue operation. My guess is that the U.S. will coordinate with the Pakistan Special Forces if they ever find out where this kind is.
