Am I the only one who read "sending eighty-five hundred dollars" as "eighty-five _million_ dollars"; only then to skip back to read it as "hundred".
I'm glad to know that we managed to deal terrorism a death blow by making sure these $8500 never reached the Somali militia. Oh wait, we have not even stopped the $8500 to get there.
Seriously, if we want save lives, why not invest all this money where it actually, uhm, saves lives. For example health care. But, hey, that is somehow unamerican.
Or since lightening strikes kill more people than terrorism does, I suggest we also spend all this money to build giant metal-wire tents over all major cities.
It's hard to keep the sarcasm in check with so much paranoia involved.
