You Get What You Pay For
Here's a fun little factoid: In April, insurgents launched 135 car bombings in Iraq, with half of them being suicide attacks, the U.S. military said.
How many of these were funded by Sgrena's ransom?

Just about all of them, I'd reckon. Operating costs are amazingly low when you have volunteers willing to commit suicide.

Some enterprising American lawyer should hustle up a class action against the Italian government for the survivors of the kids who've died since it was paid. It'd be worth it for the publicity, since she's still running her jibs. Have to ask the Barrister ~ what's that called when your actions facilitate something happening, even though you weren't at the trigger? My Law & Order brain catalogue seems to have escaped me.
