Default OT (It's even controversy free) Here is an interesting scenario. . .



http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/...ain/index.html




Now suppose terrorist group B claims the $25 million bounty on
al-Zarqawi? Do we pay? On the one hand paying shows we keep our word
and could encourage further work by the "enemy of my enemy". On the
other hand it could put $25 million in the cofers of terrorists (be
they on "our side" or not). Glad that one's not my decision though I
suspect there could be a middle-man to grease the wheels. Technically
if we paid we'd be supporting terrorism or at the very least a
vigilante group. Of course here in the US our superheros tend to all
be vigilantes (Can we say Spiderman :-) ). Any thoughts?
