Not surprising, just sad

As anyone could have predicted, the $5000 (minimum) bounties offered by the U.S. for supected terrorists has created a "black market" for abductions by police, border guards, and anyone else who whould like some quick cash. If the Soviet experience is any guide, there are probably some people being turned in in order to facilitate promotions and steal personal property. According to General Musharraf, agents have captured 689 and turned over 369 to the U.S. Some were guilty. I wonder how many were innocent?
