Egwene actually commented on how there was no other possible punishment for black ajah members other than severing and beheading whatever the benefits of interrogation or bartering for information would be.
However, for the forsaken there is suddenly an issue?

I don't think the issue is that Mesaana is Forsaken, so must as the fact she's brain damaged beyond repair. There's not much point, or honor or justice in executing a drooling, idiot vegetable. We know, from various references in the series, that a Forsaken in WT care would be excecuted, even a DF would.
Egwene was not in a position to get much of anything out of the captured BA. She's also got a string of bad experiences with trying to hold DF/Forsaken\BA together. Egwene got her lesson with Moghedien, with the BA in Tear --- and knows better now. The potential benefits, which are slim to begin with as what BA say can't be trusted, aren't worth the risks.
Another potential problem is that a darkfriend or another Forsaken could pull Mesaana into a forced circle and use her power. I'm not sure if she can still channel but I'm pretty sure she can even with a broken mind. I wouldn't put it past Demandred to kidnap the idiot vegetable and use her as his own sa'angreal by linking with her when he needs some extra punch... Assuming he knows forced circles.

it would be funny if she was the only Forsaken to live through the LB. *NM*

If the DO reincarnated her, she'd have the same mind, so she'd be useless
