Bruce Willis Plans to Honor $1 Million Pledge (Reward to Saddam's captor)

Movie star Bruce Willis is planning to honor the $1 million offer he made to the soldier who found Saddam Hussein.

The movie star visited troops in Iraq last month and promised to make the soldier who uncovered the country's former leader an overnight millionaire.

Willis is now trying to discover who he owes, and says, "It's a small price to pay. They're my heroes."

Why should he pay if the informant was under interrogation?

It's not for the informant. It's for the American soldier who found him in that hole first.

Do movie stars get residuals if we rent their movies or only if we buy them? I'd like to reward this type of behavior somehow.

Buying. They make nothing off DVD and video rentals.

Definitely if a movie is purchased... I don't know if they track rentals and residuals can be earned on that basis.

As part of the deal, Willis should have required the winning soldier to tell Saddam that "we're gonna get medieval on your a$$"

Somehow, I bet Saddam would know exactly what that line meant and where it came from.
