even if there is a bounty, can you imagine what a group of Infantry Marines would do if they found him? Hell, I know I'd take at least a finger and scalp his ***... sell that **** on ebay and give the money to 911 victim's families. I'd hate to see what a fire team or even a squad of tired, pissed off Marines would do. I seriously doubt turning him over, safely, to the government would be top priority
