Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information.

MOGADISHU — Somalia’s al-Qaeda-allied Shabab rebels Saturday mocked a U.S. offer of up to $33-million for tip-offs enabling the arrest of its top leaders, saying they would give 10 camels to anyone who helped locate Barack Obama.
The highest price put up by the US State Department on Thursday was for Shabab chief Ahmed Abdi aw-Mohamed — more commonly known as Godane or Abu Zubayr — with a $7-million bounty for information on where he is hiding.
