#2 so who is the new #3?

#3 I wonder why only $200k on his head? Either he was retail priced, or they figured that the locals couldn't grasp amounts of money greater than that; surprisingly, that is often the case.

There was even a lottery in the rural midwest US, that had a respectable payout, but was ignored by the public, until they changed the jackpot to a new pickup truck, worth far less than the cash. But it was a hit, because the locals appreciated a good pickup truck. Go figure.

#4 missiles = us

You sure about that? Cause its a big implication, if true.

#5 Good point, 'moose. I've often thought we (U.S.) were making a mistake putting high dollar rewards on binny et al. The rubes in the back country wouldn't have a sense of 'dollars'. But saturate the area with leaflets promising '100,000 gold Dinars' (or some exchange medium they're familiar with) might generate more interest and leads.

#11 Ahumm, Anonymoose. Can't disagree.

"As the new #5, I formally resign my position ~~and will retire in muritania~~ citing risk of becoming #4 which would be a natural position of promotion to #3."

#13 The United States maintains that Al-Libi was likely behind the February 2007 suicide bombing of U.S. military base in Bagram, Afghanistan, that killed 23 people.

Interesting that the press toots this as one of his accomplishments. 23 Afghan peasants looking for work were killed. The Arabs are making quite a reputation for themselves in Kabul and making friends wherever they go.
