USS Cole Case Going Bad

It seems that the U.S. government has been and may still be running into problems with some of the supposed perpatrators of the USS Cole attack. It seems that the government could just send bounty hunter to Yemen and pay them when they bring the guys back to America.

Jamal al-Badawi, a Yemeni who helped organize the plot to bomb the Cole as it refueled in this Yemeni port on Oct. 12, 2000, has broken out of prison twice. He was recaptured both times, but then secretly released by the government last fall. Yemeni authorities jailed him again after receiving complaints from Washington.

6. WTF?"

"Despite the initial promises of accountability, only limited public inquiries took place in Washington, unlike the extensive investigations that followed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks."

7. Didn't ya hear? They rounded up a couple of thousand "Arab" looking men

Still haven't found one.

I'm grumpy today. Waaaaay too tired of trying to get my representatives to, you know, represent damned near anything but their career.
