$5,000,000 reward for the capture of Bin Laden

The man suspected for overseeing the terrorist attack on America has been on the FBI's 10 most wanted list for years now, with a $5,000,000 reward for his capture, dead or alive.

Aside from Afghanistan, where bin Laden has long-standing ties — including some possible family ties — with the ruling Taliban, there are indications bin Laden has some contacts with both the governments of Iran and Pakistan.
The connections with Iran are described in recent Justice Department papers filed in the embassy bombing case. The U.S. alleges that on two different occasions in the early 1990s, a senior religious leader from Iran met with bin Laden’s representatives in Khartoum to discuss putting aside religious differences — bin Laden is a Wahabi Muslim, Iran is Shiite — and cooperating against western interests. However, there is no information to suggest any joint operations were ever planned or carried out.
The link with Pakistan is more current. One issue that distresses U.S. officials is intelligence that bin Laden, Kashmiri Muslim rebels in India and Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence [ISI], its quasi-autonomous military intelligence agency, are involved in “monkey business” together. The U.S. used the ISI in the 1980s to fund, train and arm the Afghan mujahedin, including bin Laden, in its fight against the Soviet Red Army.
Calling it a “stew,” a “crazy soup” and a “cozy relationship,” two officials noted that the key to the relationship is Pakistan’s use of rebel insurgents in Kashmir, the troubled region that has been the subject of three wars between Pakistan and India. Muslim fighters, financed by the ISI but trained by bin Laden, have been operating in the Indian part of Kashmir.
“The Pakistanis have interest in working with people who can help them in Kashmir. Bin Laden has an interest in helping Muslim fighters. It is a cozy relationship.”
In fact, said the officials, the U.S. now believes that most of those killed in last August’s attack on bin Laden camps in Afghanistan were Kashmiri insurgents training to kill Indians. And that linkage, they note, is critical to understanding both bin Laden’s network and the future of religious terrorism. Bin Laden, they note, has had connections over the years with other terrorist groups in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Chechnya, Bosnia, Albania, Algeria, Uruguay and Ecuador.

I'd suggest they raise the ante

$5,000,000 probably isn't gonna do it!

We can come up with $300 million for a lottery; we ought to be able to do the same for a scum like bin Laden.

Make it $100 million for bin Laden.
Throw in another $100 million for Hussein, whom has been implemented in this.

And $25 million for each of up to 4 top lieutenants.

And make it for dead only. No messy trials where smarmy lawyers try to convince us they are not guilty that way.

It was $5,000,000 before all of this horror. My guess is that right now, they'd give you an entire country if you found him.
