Interesting question.

There are two ways to get people to do what you want. Positive reenforcement, and negative reenforcement. The US likes to use positive reenforcement because the alternatives can be, frankly, brutal, and most of them are alternately illegal or at least frowned upon by the human rights community. (Of course, the US has recently threatened to export terrorist suspects to France. I have no idea what the French do to international terrorism suspects but apparently the threat is enough to get people talking...)

If they don't make good on these deals, their programs won't work. This program did work. This guy being rich in London is worth catching the leadership of Al'Q. I hope they don't set this guy up and just forget about him. Thats kind of what they did with Bin Lauden in the first place isn't it?
