The ONLY arguement you could EVER make for Omar is that he is an enemy combatant and as such, he is entitled to protection under the Geneva Convention. (And the Americans DO NOT want to do that.)
My personal opinion is that those who are actually fighting NATO troops in Afghanistan are soldiers for the other side.
I do not agree with them being labeled as criminals. As long as they are grabbing a machine gun, or a rocket launcher and fighting other soldiers, then they are soldiers.
The only problem for Omar is that then makes him a Traitor and there are penalties for that too. Stiff ones. Further he becomes a POW and doesn't get released until the war is over and that might never happen.
Either way, Omar doesn't get a pass.
