Of the possible scenarios there really isn't a good win situation. If you kill him he's a martyr. If he kills himself he's a martyr. If you imprison him he may get killed by the other prisoners and become a martyr. If you imprison him and he doesn't get killed by the other prisoners he then becomes the focus of all terrorist hijackings (release bin laden or the hostages get it) until he finally does die in prison (and becomes a martyr). If you let him go he organizes more destruction and becomes a hero.

Really I think the best solution if the US soldiers find him is to kill him in secret, bury his body in an unmarked grave in the middle of the desert (or acid wash the body clean of evidence) and then never tell anyone about it period. Then the a$$holes who want to follow him don't know he is dead so can't claim him a martyr. And he is safely disposed of with no more terrorism in his name.
