About what someone said about Athar never letting Thade out of the glass cell thing:

Athat would let him out so he could be tried and brought to justice. If he didn't, no-one in the city would believe him and live side by side with the humans simply because there was no proof and that the one ape they thought they could trust was Thade. They'd assume that Athar had killed Thade to take control of the army...

If he could get Thade to confess then everything would be peachy. The way I figure it is that Thade kills Athar, Ari, Limbo and Pericles as they broke the cage to capture him for trial (remember he has those blade things he used on those two soldiers in the jungle) and told the army outside (who hadn't seen anything that occured inside the spaceship) that Pericles wasn't Semos and that Athar and the rest were traitors. The only ones that would know would be the humans- and who in the city would believe them?

Therefore Thade would be seen as a hero for destroying the human threat (Leo) and he would still be general. He could wipe out the humans-his original plan-and no one would care. The apes would love him for this and he would be immortalised as the saviour of their world and civilisation from the 'evil humans'
