Bounty: The Quicker Picker-Upper

Ron Paul has a terrific idea on how to stop the piracy that's become all too common place these days.

Hire bounty hunters. Yes, there's a provision in the Constitution for it. We won't get into the technicalities here.

We all know how successful the U.S. has been by putting a bounty on Osama Bin Laden's head, but seriously, this could really work.

Andrew Grotto, a senior national security analyst with the Center for American Progress, has said: “What happens when a ship flying under Congress accidentally takes out an aid ship bound for Somalia? At what time does an act seem pirate-like enough to cross the line? Do we really want these snap judgments being made on the fly in waters thousands of miles away from Washington? This is not Johnny Depp we’re dealing with.”

Nevertheless, it sounds like it could be fun.
