#1 I can just see the kidnappers paying with cash for something and the capital one vikings running out too get them. Oh, I can't stop grinning!

#3 Oh jolly good! Remember the US Bounty Hunter Act. If such a practice became common in Iraq, it would go a long way to restoring order. That is, having a class of professional bounty hunters, regulated against doing revenge work, but otherwise free to bring in bad boyz Dead or Alive.

#4 I am all for revenge work in this case. Stamping out an islamic kidnap culture before it gets well rooted is a good thing. It not just westerners being held and killed by terrorists and as political acts that is going on. There is plent of kidnap for profit and rape. The Chechens have a kidnap culture and it's partialy a reason for it's continued existance as a shit hole.

#11 Ha-haa! Sucker. These "bounty hunters" will take his cash, and then fail to find anyone. "Bounty Hunters" are nothing if not canny, and can milk a ~~customer~~ mark for all he's worth, with promises that success is just right around the corner.

#12 How do you know that the $50,000 isn't for bounties paid for scalps already delivered?

#13 That's why the posters all say Wanted Dead or Alive. 2b rewards don't get paid until something gets delivered. That is how it works. These are not P.I types.

#15 I watched the piece on channel 10. He came across as a shrewd operator, not given to throwing money away. I also got the clear impression he fully expected to pay up and get value for money. It was part of a hour long piece on the Woods kidnapping. Woods himself made the point several times that he didn't know who was behind his kidnapping. I thought the repeated emphasis strange and IMO he does know and may well be planning something himself. He clearly feels responsible for the deaths of his 2 assistants killed by the kidnappers.

#17 What's remarkable is that it's a Swede doing it.

#18 Swedes are generally slow to anger, but when they do get angry, it is best not to be Russian, as it were. Horned helmets and broadaxes and all.

#21 There is much danger in a man who everyone believes is patient and quiet without limit. When the dam of urbanity breaks, all that is left is the Viking going berserk.
