Althouse: The dollar is the camel of today.

The dollar is the camel of today.

"There is nothing new in the fact that infidels pay to have Muslim leaders killed... They already did that by offering camels for the head of Prophet Mohammed, and the dollar is the camel of today."

We will just all have to get over over that hump of accepting a new currency.; 6/10/12, 11:17 AM
madAsHell said...: So much of journalism is just giving a megaphone to morons.

I found Mohamed's resume at the end of the article.

Mohamed Ibrahim, a veteran Somali journalist, is the first recipient of the Galloway Family Foundation Fellowship for International Investigative Reporting at the ABC News Brian Ross Investigative Unit. Prior to coming to the U.S., Ibrahim contributed reporting from Somalia to the New York Times and worked closely with Pulitzer prize-winning Times reporter Jeffrey Gettleman.
Agence France Presse contributed to this report.

I thought journalists were not allowed to become part of the story.; 6/10/12, 11:38 AM

Shows who's civilized.

cubanbob said...: I dint't realize that AQ were such sports! Obama is definitely over priced at 10 camels. A ten pound box of camel jerky is more than a fair price and as for Hillary a bucket of wings is being very generous.; 6/10/12, 12:24 PM

traditionalguy said...: The Taliban tribes are expressing an Afghan mountains and valleys truth that goes back 3000 years, pre Alexander The Great's Macedonians.

That truth is that the terrain is crossed by waives of European invaders that come through and then go back out always seeking conquest of a safe route to Cashmir and the Indus valley.

The lesson is to always STAY LOYAL TO OUR TRIBE and when the invaders leave again, all will resume as if they were never here. To get them to leave quicker , work hard to kill them in horrible and cruel ways every day. Then they will wake up one day and leave.

Two more Atlanta area Army veteran mens were killed by IEds in Afghanistan this week. Why wont we wake up? Rip Van Winkle was only asleep 20 years. American Presidents have had us asleep for over 10 years now.; 6/10/12, 3:28 PM

OR

Go to the US Embassy, none in Somalia

At the Rewards for Justice website, they also give an address in Washington where you can mail your information, or an internet address if you prefer to send an email.; 6/10/12, 5:08 PM
Penny said...: And from the article, "Somalis say US rewards will help".

I'm shocked they didn't have a confirming statement from Hamid Karzai and the local tribesmen of Afghanistan.
