#1 OK, SKor. Talk all you want with them. Just don't forget to bring your checkbook, OK? And perhaps it is the US who should be upset because it is that $20M or so that will be used to finance attacks on US and other coalition soldiers' lives. These folks went there knowing the score, now they are whining. I don't get it.

#2 I think the principle has been established.

Now they are simply negotiating the price.

#3 If they do decide to pay ransom, can they at least soak the bills in LSD first or something - what kind of 'nasty' would be most effectively transmitted from money to terrorist?

#4 Glenmore, IIRC, you can use DMSO as a carrier and add poison of your choice. Ricin works well. So the bills will be little greasy, who'll notice?

#5 The talibunnies are against immunizations, so include polio, smallpox, cholera, AIDS, diptheria, hemmoragic fever, diarrhea, and whatever else you can scrape together quickly. Make sure it's applied to crisp, brand-new bills, so there will be lots of paper cuts. That way, we wipe out both the talibunnies and their supporters. May take a couple of weeks for symptoms to show, but after that, it's all downhill - literally.

How about Polonium dust?
