There's a dramatica...Nice digging, Greg Bacon.<br /><br />There's a dramatically compelling movie out there, set in England and called 'Dirty Pretty Things.' Of course the Turks play the bad organ harvesters. In the movie, they trade green cards for kidneys.MarcLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036432624426967890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481838326205496616.post-73314201193673180052009-08-25T16:26:43.442-04:002009-08-25T16:26:43.442-04:00head hunters...

She joins us from member station WBGO in Newark, and thanks very much for being with us today.....<br /><br />CONAN: So this was a sting operation.<br /><br />Ms. WASHBURN: It was a sting operation, and her story was that she had an uncle who was very sick with polycystic disease, had been on dialysis for several years and needed to get a transplant. So Dwek called Rosenbaum, and Rosenbaum invited them to his home in Brooklyn, where they went in February of 2008. They go out there, and they ask him about how he gets these kidneys and what his experience is…<br /><br />CONAN: And we know this because these conversations are tape recorded.<br /><br />Ms. WASHBURN: Exactly, yes. The complaint quotes from him based on the tape recordings that the undercover agent had made. <b>So he tells them that he would be able to take a blood sample from her uncle and transport it to Israel, and there are hunters there who will find a donor.</b> The cost for this would be $150,000. He says he needs to schmear a lot of people, pay them for their services.</i><br /><br />http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111379908<br /><br />Hunters who will find a donor?
