I believe ursa major misread Mr. Crittenden.
Not much of a price to pay, perhaps, a mass murder incident here, a mass murder incident there, when the alternative is holding battlefield prisoners indefinitely. Much as Americans were once held by their German and Japanese captors – only without the starvation, forced labor, savage beatings, etc.
The distinction between Gitmo and Japanese labor camps is that the Japanese starved, forced labor, beat savagely, and so on. This is clear from the text I’ve included.
Perhaps a <sarc> tag could have clarified things for readers too ready to jump to conclusions.
