Thanks to Spiderweb™ for finding this gem:

If your actual goal were to prevent these things from occurring -- to ensure that bin Laden is never caught, that Iraq's infrastructure is never rebuilt -- then incentives like this would be just the kind of thing you'd need. Perverse incentives are an intelligent strategy if you're pursuing perverse goals.

I've long since quit giving these guys credit for being incompetent: Nobody's this dumb. Not even Rs.
