That's not very believable. First of all, all the reports I've heard or read 
so far about his capture tell that Kurds caught him, not US commandos. 
Second, if these commandos indeed captured him and wanted him dead, then so 
would he be. I don't see how hearing him say "I surrender" would have stopped 
them.
