I read in the Wall Street Journal this morning, which I didn't see in the CNN article, that the kidnappers also asked the US to turn over the F-16 fighter jets that Pakistan purchased in the late '80's but never delivered due to US sanctions related to the Islamabad weapons program. Basically... we took the money and rolled out. There's no mention on whether the US ever gave back the money... but the kidnappers wanted the planes, leaving me to believe that we didn't. This country does some wild chyt!!
