$27 million reward granted in capturing #3 Al Queda

That is probably the best $27 Million we ever spent. 😀

As the for the $2 Million extra, well... Fine, that is a minor issue...

We have a $25 Million reward for Bin Laden. If someone said, "hey, I know where Bin Laden is right now, but if I help you get him, I want $250 million. I'd say offer him the cash...

OK, my only prob is, the eqyptian that fessed up the info was an Al Quida soilder, You can bet your butts that this money is going to be closely monitored. There's no telling what he'll do with it.
 
Another interesting point to this...

The State Department has rewards on a number of people, and they have a lot of paperwork and rules and stuff to get reward money transfered. It can take up to a year to get paid, some of it is held in trust, some of it is provided in controlled bank accounts, etc.

A State Department spokesman was being interviewed and he commented on how amazed his department was at how fast the CIA can transfer money. The $25 Million is coming from the state department and will take months to process. The extra $2 Million is coming from the CIA and was transfered a few hours after the guy was captured. The $2 Million was transfered to his family and enabled them to start moving.

Yes, the State Department spokesman said that they do keep track, and they provide assistance to the guy to use it wisely.

They do not just issue a check.

Most of it gets put into investments, and the guy gets the monthly interest checks. Most people who get such rewards are like lotto winners, they wouldn't know what to do with $25 Million anyway...

He'll need the money badly enough, as he as well as his family will have to go into hiding for the rest of their lives. Imagine what Al Qaida would do to his family and friends just to find out where he is now...

Here's what he'll do. He'll buy a nice apartment in london and a BMW and send his kids to private school and go to the pub in the evenings and watch movies on the weekends and watch football matches 🙂
 
HA!! That's funny. You know what a lot of these Al-quaeda members were doing when they went to school here in the US? Stayed up late at night and studied the Koran? Nope, they partied up a storm. Nothing like a hypocritical islamic terrorist...

He'll have to spend half of it on security. 😀

Nice to know how devoted these people are to their cause. 😉

He'd be dead in weeks, if not days. Not that hard to track someone if you have the right resources.
 
With the cost of war and all the other bs going on it would be nice to just drop leaflets over Baghdad offering 1 Billion to the guy who takes out Saddam. 😉

Yea, that's why it has been so easy to find Bin Laden...

And they sure killed Salman Rushdie pretty quick too.

He took a meal ticket and ran with it, more power to him. He'll likely be protected for the rest of his life (early on by the governments involved, later by his own money). And for those commenting on the 2million to relocate consider something, Afgahanistan doesn't follow the nuclear family model of the western nations. When they say he had to relocate his whole family that might have meant his WHOLE family.

Do you really think Osama is going to public meetings and stuff, and partying around in big cities? The person I responded to was talking about the guy moving to London and living it big up there, with a nice appartment and car, private school for the kids, etc. Osama is actively hiding and moving around. Information about students at schools, about houses and expensive cars being sold, and new people moving into a neighbourhood can easily be found if you are looking for it, especially in England. He'll have to stay out of sight at least the first few years, and they'll have to cover up his traces and do everything outside of the official routes.

Salman Rushdie is actually not protected very much at all. I went to his speech in Houston, and there were 'devout' Muslims - mostly pakistanis with thick beards wearing their little 'cup' hats chanting 'death to Rushdie,' and down with rushdie outside the hall.

I was lmao the entire time. So when i went inside i thought for sure there would be security up the arse, but nope, nothing much.
I could have very easily brought a gun in and shot the man from the bleachers. in any case, he rules. his speech was damn good and i like him because he is one of the few rational muslims alive today. His wife is pretty hot too i hear. 🙂

I think 27 million is way overpiced, the guy would have taken 5 million (i'd negotiate 🙂). But more power to him.

 
yes but now all the top leaders will have to consider whether they are next, mistrust leads to fear, fear leads to mistakes in judgement.....

might not be 70 virgins, but experience will more than make up for it.

Don't have to really worry about dieing from STD's or a natural death either
