We can let him live because his first offenses were against his own people and they should try him at the national level of Iraq; I think that is the only way they can finally step clear of this part of their history. Unfortunately, this is also what Bush says.   
If he had fought he would have been cut down -- when they opened his hiding place one of the soldiers had an armed grenade ready to throw in. We don't randomly kill prisoners once they've surrendered, as a rule.
