$50 million could be a whole Iraqi, Pakistinian or Afghan town or village with people living a very good life for many many years to come. Certainly some lone person is more intelligent than to let that kind of money go unclaimed. Sadly, it appears they are either so loyal or so fearful the money appears to be unimportant. What good is $50 million if they send their henchmen after you and your family and your family's family?

Skeggs, if money could capture UBL; he would have been captured by now.

I posted an article a few weeks ago about the Middle Eastern obligation to give shelter. The article tied in why $$ would not cause someone to turn in OBL especially, or anyone else.

In their culture they are required to give anyone shelter who asks for it. They can be from a different tribe/clan, age old enemies, doesn't matter. They must provide shelter and the hospitality that goes with it.

If they turned someone in it would "damage" them and their family for generations. One is truly held responsible for their g-g-grandfathers actions. The price extracted is higher than 25, or 50 million, in their eyes.
