Or, an example of MSM bias by omission

While the world sleeps, bad guys are captured and or killed. If their fates are not consistent with a media agenda (read, Hillary, her hair, and her aspirations to be a liberal Margaret Thatcher) then you will hear nothing about it here in the US.
So, it would seem, is the case of the capture of the Somalian equivalent of Osama bin Laden.
Google his name as of 7:15 am est, and you get mostly hits from foreign news desks. His name is important:
And, for those that tisk tisk Wikipedia, the never biased BBC seems to believe control by lunatic radicals is better than control by Internationally sanctioned Governments.
A review from AllAfrica.com below the fold...
A top Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) official was captured on Sunday at the Kenyan-Somalia border after he surrendered to the authorities.
Officials said Sheikh Sharrif Ahmed was arrested at 7 am when he surrendered to military personnel at the Hulugo border.
Of note, even in this piece, is that this murdering thug is not just "A" top UIC Official...he is "THE" top UIC Official. According to the report:
He was flown to Nairobi under tight security where intelligence and other security officials started to interrogate him.
The officials at the border said they had information that the UIC official was near the Kenyan side while fleeing the bombardments from the Ethiopian troops.
Police said Sharrif is one of the leading UIC officials they had been waiting for and has crucial information.
"He should be in Nairobi now. We had been waiting for him at the border after being informed that he was near here," said a senior official.
Sharrif surrendered a day after 30 of his supporters were deported to Mogadishu. The suspects were loaded onto a plane on Saturday and sent away. His arrest also came days after 30 of his members were arrested at the border.
Being that I am a professional cynic, I would be remiss if I didn't point out here that I believe this is not some great police work.
I suggest, given the arrest and deportation to Mogadishu of his high-level minions, and given that he "surrendered" in Kenya, that our dear Ahmed is merely seeking shelter and exile, from which he can regroup and begin the stealth, spineless, and cowardly attacks from behind the skirts and the shadows...much the same way as the rest of his ilk.
