It would be much easier to just return the heads, I would think. Avoids confusion and you save on shipping.

Eisenhower did all in his power to stop the spread of communism. He promised aid to any nation facing the threat of communism. As an example of this policy, Eisenhower sent American soldiers to South Vietnam to serve as military advisers to this nation's military. The next two presidents, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson, increased the number of American troops in South Vietnam, contributing to the Vietnam War.

Damn I thought al-Qaeda was bad but the Taliban wanted to be 'Superbad' all along! They just don't f-ing care!

One reason why we really need more than one category for terrorist groups. There is no way we can put other "terrorist" groups and compare them to organizations like Al-Qaeda or the Taliban.

US turns U-2 spy planes on itself, raising specter of broader surveillance

In a striking but unnoticed extension of domestic surveillance, the little-known National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency deployed a U-2 spy plane on the region affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to track hazards to public health...

"The NGA's role in Hurricane Katrina has received little attention outside of a few military and space industry publications," he adds. "But the agency's close working relationship with the NSA -- whose powers to spy domestically were just expanded with new legislation from Congress -- raises the distinct possibility that the U.S. government could be doing far more than secretly listening in on phone calls as it targets and tracks individuals inside the United States. With the additional capabilities of the NGA and the use of other cutting-edge technologies, the government could also conceivably be following the movements of those individuals minute by minute, watching a person depart from a mosque in, say, Lodi, Calif., or drive a car from Chicago to Detroit."

I would agree with that. How can we possibly compare a group like the IRA, for instance, with Al Q.
