Yo Ho, Yo Ho, The Pirates's Life For Me?

One of Instantman's readers has an interesting idea--issuing Letters of Marque on the Internet. If Congress were to do so, would that mean that if we cracked an Al Qaeda (or Hamas, or Al Aqsa Brigade, or Suha Arafat) bank account, we'd be able to keep the booty?

Not a bad Idea.

Keeping even a portion of the booty would certainly be an incentive!
