#1 If it was my call I would reduce the reward.

Increasing the award gives a propaganda victory to bin Landen. Also if we cut the award, a potential agent might think, "gee I better turn him in now before they lower the reward again"

#3 I agree with mhw's take on this. I was disappointed to see the reward increase. This is a bad call on someone's part. I think it has propaganda value for the bad guyz. If you can't be induced to forward info to the appropriate authorities on OBL for $25M, then $50M isn't going to work either.
