Fine, but there's no basis in the rules for this position. My units get
captured. They are then prisoners and not "my units". Then they escape or
are released. They are no longer prisoners. They are now "My units" and are
therefore targets for a sniper. 

Find anything - ANYTHING - in the rule book to support your position before
you post a reply.
