From CBC News:
BAGRAM, Afghanistan - A new U.S. "most-wanted" campaign is offering up to $200,000 for information on a dozen elusive Taliban and al-Qaida leaders fuelling a rise in bombings and suicide attacks in Afghanistan.
In the south, meanwhile, militants hanged a teenager for having American money in his pocket and stuffed five $1 bills into his mouth as a warning not to use U.S. currency.
To help track down 12 insurgent commanders, posters and billboards are to go up around eastern Afghanistan with their names and pictures. Rewards ranging from $20,000 to $200,000 are available for information leading to their capture.
"We're trying to get more visibility on these guys like the FBI did with the mob," said Lt.-Col. Rob Pollock, an officer at the main U.S. base in Bagram. "They operate the same way the mob did, they stay in hiding."
The list does not include internationally known names who already have a large price on their heads, such as al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden - who has evaded U.S. capture since 2001 despite a $25 million bounty - or Taliban leader Mullah Omar, who is worth a $10 million reward.
Instead, it is filled with local insurgent cell leaders responsible for roadside and suicide bomb attacks.

Now sound goes like this:
Once you say their dead and then their not.
Alot of money is being spent to get people and then pay the families of the people we murder. One family was offered 200,000 dollars because the US out right murdered woman and children. The US paid at least 15,000 per person we kill and the price goes up. The fake offers to Al Qaeda leaders is paid for other things.
