Wartime Bounties

Never said they did. But back to the "Nazi-labeling" thing: Is that how you stop down an argument? By calling the other side a "Nazi" because their opinion is contrary to yours? I think your creed must be far closer to Nazism than mine will ever be. What do you think?

Well the great thing about the Nazis is that they were proactive and just labeled themselves as Nazis before waiting around for their enemies to say it.😛

Well, they took Masri into custody yesterday so I would say yes.

Edit: Supposedly. Just saw it reported last night. It's always best to wait a few days to verify reports like that.

Even if they did take him in, it's not clear whether the bounty had anything to do with it or whether anyone collected it.

Looks like the bounties are indeed working.

Apparently the US is placing bounties on high priority targets; for example, the head of Al-Quaida in Iraq:

Masri, an Egyptian, assumed the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq after Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. air strike in June. The United States has a $5 million bounty on Masri's head.

Do these bounties do any good? Has anyone cashed these sort of bounties in yet?

I completely see your point. I also noticed today that the U.S. Said they have not yet seen any evidence that al-Masri (The Egyptian) has been wounded or in custody as had been reported by the Iraqis.

I bet they don't she him, but if they do we will probably never hear much about the bounty. If someone sold him out they will probably keep it quiet.
