Default Re: Letter of Marque and Reprisal

From the Wiki article, a letter of Marque and Reprisal was traditionally only issued to private citizens for the purpose of making them privateers. It would be unprecedented to use this to declared a "focused war" on Bin Laden using the military. Although, I suppose we could hire mercenaries and bounty hunters to go after him.
