You're exactly right, JJ.

You can be sure that he was videotaped constantly for intelligence purposes
after his capture. They would have had hours of video to choose from, some
of it shot after they got him "bathed and shaved" for an interim I.D.

Yet the few seconds of video they released of him shows him looking pretty
ragged, and cooperating to a very undignified "lice and dental" inspection.

Our psych-ops people are doing it right this time.

It is much more demoralizing to his followers to see him taken alive in
in the humiliating state he was found in than as a dead martyr.
