I'm reading this article on AFP, and am struck by a few things.

The posters and billboards, offering between 20,000 and 200,000 dollars for the capture of a dozen "wanted" Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters, will be put up in eastern Afghanistan, US Sergeant Dean Welch told AFP.

The part that really bugs me is that the campaign is really looking for twelve members of these terrorist organizations, and they're offering only 20-200k for the capture of these men? It seems like these twelve are seriously important, but they're only worth a couple hundred grand at best? Sure, that's a lot of money, especially in Afghanistan, and yet that's bull compared to what the US government is capable of offering, since these men are so significant that they warrant a poster campaign seeking their capture.

Just me.
