Great minds

I was beginning to think that no one else cared about the huge ransom allegedly paid for the release of the Italian journalist until I saw this column by Michelle Malkin.

Whatever the final tally, it's a whopping bounty that will undoubtedly come in handy for cash-hungry killers in need of spiffy new rocket-propelled grenade launchers, AK-47s, mortars, landmines, components for vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, and recruitment fees. (To put this windfall in perspective, bear in mind that the 9/11 plot was a half-million dollar drop in the bucket for Osama bin Laden.)

I said pretty much the same thing in my post several days ago. It's just that Michelle says it so much better.
