It is possible the money demand is mis-information.
It sure is coincidental that the government just announced they will be releasing prisoners from GITMO.

Could the terrorist(s) be demanding prisoners released (or they will kill another American)?
Another possibility is that only terrorists would be demanding such a large sum, as they are wanting it from the US GOVT, not the Maryland police department.

It sure is coincidental that the government just announced they will be releasing prisoners from GITMO.

It sure is. If this is indeed Islaloterrorism (and I'm fairly certain that it is), and we start giving in to their demands (whether it be the releasing of prisoners, cash payments, or whatever), then we're completely doomed. We will lose the war for sure. Terrorists are NOT to be negotiated with.....EVER.
