Mullah Rahim, the top commander for southern Helmand province, gave himself up after British forces had killed two other Taliban leaders in little over three weeks.
Hours after his surrender, another senior Taliban commander, Abdul Rasaq, also known as "Mullah Sheikh", was killed in a British missile strike 15 km (9 miles) north of the town of Musa Qala in Helmand on Monday morning, the British army said in a statement. Three other insurgents also died.
Rasaq headed Taliban actions around Musa Qala and was active in the insurgency for a number of years, it said.
"The Taliban's senior leadership structure has suffered a shattering blow," British army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Robin Matthews said in the statement.

Would the Brits hand them over to the US, or would they hand them over to the Afghan government? If it's the latter, there's no guarantee that they'd get a trial, or even be kept in custody, for that matter.
Now that I think of it, yeah, it would be better to kill them on the battlefield.

While I'm not sorry he's dead...I still think the better punishment would have been locking him up in one of our Woman's Maximum Security prisons here in the States.... :naughty:
