In response to a question of what Americans have been captured in Afghanistan attacking American forces (which is what you originally asked about), you use as an example someone captured in Pakistan, where there are NO American forces operating?

And how does someone captured and turned over to American forces equated to someone captured in the act of attacking American forces? I think you're confusing/conflating multiple scenarios.

As to Yassar Hamdi, (not Hamadi), he was not fighting American forces when he was captured. Like the "American Taliban" kid, Hamdi was fighting against forces of one of the Northern Alliance warlords. In other words, he was with one Afghani faction, fighting another Afghani faction. The fact that the U.S. happened to favor the faction he was fighting against does not equate to his attacking American forces.
