That's actually more credible, though I'm skeptical that anybody
would trust the Bush Administration with that much money -
if you're not an established government or well-known warlord,
don't you become an immediate target of US suspicion?
But Bin Laden could get to turn himself in alive,
and if he gets killed as a martyr to the cause,
lots more people get to hate Bush.
