#3 Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If I'm Saddam, I wonder about these guys. So they reported the bribe. Why did the U.S. think they could be bribed? Wack 'em on general principal and "pour encourage les autres" {fractured French}.

Now if they CIA had offered them a hotel maid like Jennifer Lopez...

#4 If you believe Woodward's book "Bush at War", the CIA deals in suitcases of cash. That's how all the Taliban-buying was accomplished, or so it says.
