#1 I think that is a small price to pay for getting that THING out of circulation.

When you compute the costs in lives and property, medical bills and loss of wages to the injured, law suits, investigations, and court costs, this is small change for what the cost of the clean up and repairs both property and human costs of a terrorist act are.

Can we do this again and maybe get a few of the Al Qaeda thugs off the streets. And how about them Baathists, I think we should give all of our soldiers a visa card and let them pay like crazy for information.........a priming of the Iraqi economy and a wealth of information.

#2 Duane Dog Chapman would have done the job for $5M as long as Rita Cosby interviewed him.

#3 Money well spent and an excellent PR move having them acknowledge receiving it - now other potential bounty hunters know it's a real offer.
BTW Super Hose - you're on the mark - she had "Dog" wrapped around her little finger, didn't she?

#4 It was a mutual use. Dog can probably write a more credible best-seller than that stupid kid searching for trouble in the mountains of Columbia.
