Which will be fine if they give up their weapons. That's what generally happens in a surrender. They give up their weapons, agree to behave and the POWs get released. If they subsequently pick up more weapons and misbehave then they get their ass kicked again and maybe that time there will be no surrender accepted.

Not those, I don't think. Of course, if they are hardened terrorists then they should not be released. This is somewhat analogous, in my opinion, to the Whiskey Rebellion.

Senator Harry Reid Urges Sadr to 'Not Give Up Hope'
Moqtada al-Sadr — the lunatic Islamic fanatic that Newsweek called “The Most Dangerous Man in Iraq” in 2006 — has unilaterally extended the ceasefire he decreed for his Mahdi Army in the summer of 2007. “To be frank, we were getting our heads handed to us by the infidel occupiers,” Sadr lamented. “I see no alternative if we are to avoid being wiped out.”
Sadr’s attempt to intimidate Iraqis into accepting his vision for an Islamic theocratic state under his leadership was not faring well. Even his fellow Shi’a Muslims rejected his message. When the U.S “surge” provided an alternate source of protection from al-Qaeda and Sunni insurgents, the Shi’ites no longer needed the Mahdis for protection.
This turn of events has caused consternation for U.S. Democrats. In a bid to rescue the situation, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wrote to Sadr urging him to “not give up hope.” “We are doing our best to end the Bush Administration’s reign of terror in your country,” Reid’s letter said. “We have high hopes of replacing him with a person having greater sympathy for your plight. If you can only hang on until 2009, things should be looking up.”

Given Reid's other pronouncements, it isn't all that satirical.

The reason al-Sadr surrendered
(Listen for the GAU minigun ripping away at 50 rounds per second.)
Iraqi Special Forces, take on the Madhi Army in Sadr City. This is why al Sadr has already begged for a truce. The Madhi Army are no match for the increasingly lethal Iraqi forces. Prime Minister Maliki has the upper hand now.

Haha, Surrender? The Mahdi army has melted back into the civilian population and the iraqi government has lost credibility. This will only be a taste of things of come. The Mahdi army can stop and start violence when ever it wants.

And the Iraqi army "can start and stop" this level of destruction (see video) on the mahdi when ever it wants....

The Iraqi army is strained beyond belief, they lost equipment to the sadrists, they deserted en masse, and they ceasefired to Sadr's terms.Its the fifth year in the war and the Iraqi government is attacking its own people and this is used as a benchmark, insanity...
The real winner of this fight is Iran and Sadr, the peace was even brokered in Iran, this is a new chapter in Iraq, from now on out expect further negative feedback loops between the Iraqi government and Sadr.
