We got Udai and Kusai ratted out for $30mm. A few days' expense, even at a

Would $100 million rat out OBL? $200 million? $300 million, a US green card,
and a total plastic surgery makeover for the informant and his family? There's
a price that would buy OBL, and it's probably a lot cheaper than the course
we're on.....*if* our intention is to catch the criminal ******* at the head of
the organization that blew down the WTC etc.


Chuck, you assume that the people with the information, are as consumer,
and materially oriented as an American. Many of those people loath what
the american dollar stands for, and offering it as an incentive to "give
up" their comrades, will not have the same appeal. Offer them the 70
virgins and the all night party at Allah's, and then they might think
about it......
