The trick would be living to spend the $25 million. That reward level was asinine. It should have been on the level of $50,000 or something for Afghan natives. How the hell could someone collect $25 million in Afghanistan without everyone knowing it and you becoming Target One for many of your countrymen?

You're an Afghan soldier, on the U.S. side (at least today). A Taliban offers you $500 bucks or its equivalent to look the other way for an hour while the Big Guy slips through. Who's going to know? In any case, the U.S. Army, if it caught you, isn't going to shoot you. Besides, the Taliban guy isn't going to tell you that they are sneaking bin Laden past you in the first place.
