Cash Offered for Dead Westerners Fri Apr 5, 1:25 PM ET By MICHELLE BOORSTEIN, Associated Press Writer
BAGRAM, Afghanistan - Al-Qaida and Taliban forces are distributing pamphlets that offer rewards for dead or captured Westerners and threaten Afghans who support the U.S.-led coalition, U.S. Army officials said Friday. Maj. Iris Hurd said leaflets have been found in the last few weeks that offer $50,000 for a Westerner delivered dead and $100,000 for one who is alive. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&ncid=716&e=1&u=/ap/20020405/ap_on_re_as/afghan_threats ...... Hmm, that's about 5x what Union Carbide paid for dead Bhopal Indians... but a real bargain compared to many US wrongful-death lawsuits. What kind of payback does the USG pay to families of deceased soldiers? Then again, the USG promised the Pakis a third of a trillion and only got a handful of live ones.. .... Got Osama?
