Ron Paul, wasn’t that the guy who thought we should go after Bin Laden with a ‘letter of marquis’ (ie, hire pirates to get him?)

And how does that differ from out "reward" out for him now. We are just paying the contractors after the fact. I would hire Mossad members to get that piece of gutter slime, or some retired Pakistani/Iraqi secret police?

The difference is he wanted the letter of marquis instead of a declaration of war, we are using these tactics as just a small part in an overall war strategy. That is a big different than opposing the declaration of war in the first place. It just goes to show that Paul doesn't understand the nature of the enemy and would rather play semantic games than fight the enemy.
