Read your original post before attempting to correct anyone, you were the one that was incorrect in your posting. Your facts are incorrect. Correct them and get back to me.

Here are the facts:

(1) Letters of marque are useless and have no legal force.

(2) Letters of marque are not bounties.

(3) Bounties can be set completely independently of letters of marque, because - as stated above - letters of marque are not bounties.

(4) Paul's individual contribution the legislative agenda (made after the President published the bounty) concerned letters of marque, which - as stated above - are not bounties.

(5) The claim that Ron Paul had any kind of rational response to 9/11 is proven hollow, since his only contribution was the concept of letters of marque, which are completely useless in prosecuting any action against bin Laden.

(6) Even though there is a substantial bounty, there have been no takers, because a private attempt at capturing bin Laden is a suicide mission unless you are already a deep insider in his own organization.

(7) Paul's idea of letters of marque was a laughable non-starter and not a serious suggestion. The State Department's bounty idea, far more intelligent and practical than Paul's letters of marque idea, has also been unsuccessful. The President's solution: hunt and kill as many terrorists as we can, has been incredibly successful in its core goal: the prevention of further terrorist attacks on our home soil.
