So, you're captured by terrorists in Iraq, held hostage for weeks, and then are lucky enough to be set free. What do you do next? You hire bounty hunters to track down and kill those dirty bastards, of course.
A hostage held alongside Australian Douglas Wood in Iraq has hired bounty hunters to track down his former captors, promising to eliminate them one by one.(Hat tip to Spoons)Swede Ulf Hjertstrom, who was held for several weeks with Mr Wood in Baghdad, was released by his kidnappers on May 30.
Mr Hjertstrom has since claimed he shared information with US and Iraqi troops about Mr Wood which led to the release of the 63-year-old Australian engineers two weeks ago, after 47 days in captivity.
Now, he wants to find those responsible.
"I have now put some people to work to find these bastards," he told the Ten Network today.
"I invested about $50,000 so far and we will get them one by one."

Posted by: sulfuric_attitude at June 27, 2005 7:38 AMExcellent. This is the sort of after-the-fact behavior that discourages crime. Now if only you could get revenge insurance. (Easy monthly premium of $50 pays out a $1M bounty for the head of anyone who commits a violent felony against your person. :) )
