US Offers Charles Taylor Bounty

[blackcat77]

Security has been tightened around the compound in eastern Nigeria of the exiled former Liberian leader, Charles Taylor, following rumours the United States has posted a $2m bounty for his capture.
The Bush administration has said Mr Taylor should face trial at a special war crimes court in Sierra Leone, where he was indicted in June this year while still president of Liberia.

This week President George W Bush signed into law a bill providing funds totalling $87.5bn for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A small clause in that budget appears to indicate that the US is offering the bounty for the former Liberian leader.

I believe that would be the "blood money" provision...

1. We are now bounty hunters? How much for Wolfowitz?

Charles Taylor is a thug, but the BushBots just wish he would go away. Not part of their New World Order.

2. I can see Nixon/Ford/Reagan putting a bounty on Mandela years ago

and they would have sold it to us the same as Taylor. Do you really know what's going on over there? I surely don't trush anything coming out of the most corrupt government the United States has ever known, The Bush Crime Family.

$2-million reward for Charles Taylor

3. What is this, an IOU for a hit? We have no money left.

What a bunch of degenerates are running our government.
