#1 I guess he won't be able to make his appearance on "Imus in the Morning" this week.

#2 Maybe it is time to bring private enterprise to bear as a weapon in the WoT. Congress is authorised to issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal. Think of it as a job creation program!

#3 He's a legend in his own mind.

Isn't there a one-a-day limit on the use of cliches? :-)

#4 Nothing wrong with bounty hunters, although I'd think publicity stunts probably interfere with the job at hand. Too bad none of them have come up with any of the big-shots - I expect this to be a pretty hairy endeavor, given that the opposition is not only on friendly territory, but also armed to the teeth.

#5 I did a photo-shoot with Idema in Fayetteville, NC about ten years ago during one of his SPECIAL OPERATIONS conventions that he helped organized. At that time he shot himself with a .44 caliber handgun to test the "Second Chance" bulletproof vest, which I caught on a ultra-high speed still camera. Other photos show him sporting guns and dressed in military style clothes. I'm not surprised that he would form a free-lance vigilante group to go into Afghanistan. He has the contacts and the bravado.

#6 ..."As always, if any member of your IM Force is caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This recording will self destruct in 5 seconds. Good luck, John."......*fssssssssss*....

#7 There is no Idema and he's not a local. Nor is he DIA nor CIA. Keep this under your hat. Now, deal me in .
