"Q. ABC News: If Bin Laden or [Ayman al-] Zawahri were there, they could stay?

A. Gen Sultan: No-one of that kind can stay. If someone is there he will have to surrender, he will have to live like a good citizen, his whereabouts, exit travel would be known to the authorities.

Q. ABC News: So, he wouldn't be taken into custody? He would stay there?

A. Gen Sultan: No, as long as one is staying like a peaceful citizen, one would not be taken into custody. One has to stay like a peaceful citizen and not allowed to participate in any kind of terrorist activity. "

Obviously Gen Sultan is first saying no one like OBL can stay. He then segues that if someone, obviously meanin ordinary Taliban, NOT OBL, surrendere and will live like a good citizen he would only have to give his location to authorities. ABC asks "would HE be taken into custody" without specifying that they are talking about OBL - either the reporter missed the segue, or is ignoring it.

The general then fails to pick up that ABC missed his segue.
