Ex-hostage hires bounty hunters

Swede Ulf  Hjertstrom, a hostage held alongside Australian Douglas Wood in Iraq, has hired bounty hunters to track down his former captors, promising to eliminate them one by one.

Mr Hjertstrom and the Aussie were released two weeks ago, after 47 days in captivity, and now he wants payback.  In the best American tradition (we'll make him an honoray citizen) he wants to find his captors and deal with them.

"I have now put some people to work to find these bastards," he told the Ten Network today.

"I invested about $50,000 so far and we will get them one by one." [story]

Think about it. We could collect dimes from school kids and privatize the whole deal. All the CIA has to do is supply names, and ... zap. Pass it on.
