There's a congressman in Somalia?
I just passed by a TV (MSNBC) that said there's a congressman that just landed in Somalia and was shot at. Did anyone else see this?

6. "This is the first I've heard of it."
Amazing, isn't it?

This is the first I've heard about it as well, yet, enough news got around Somalia for someone to fire mortars. I mean, don't you have to plan to fire mortars, and doesn't this planning require some advance notice as well as a certain depth of information for the planning process to commence?

Where's our media?
