That all sounds very fishy.
I like to think in terms of conspiracy and government cover-ups and so forth because it has been shown time and again that the government and media
lie. That is what makes me a conspiracy theorist! That's why I read ATS! I don't understand people who run to the defense of the media, the
authorities and the keepers of the status quo, who put such energy and time into it, such emotion and drive to have their rationale prevail...
because I am a conspiracy theorist, this behavior pings my radar for the presence of an AGENDA. This could be anything from the cognitive dissonance
of the uninitiated in the ways of corruption, to the very corruption itself, the stealth influence that keeps the citizen immobilized.
Who
are you chronic debunker?
I lean more toward this story being propaganda than any of the soap opera coincidences meaning it's a total fabrication. Somewhere in between. It
probably isn't what the OP suggests, but I am willing to bet that the whole story is very different that what they are attempting to lead us to
believe.
I think this mainly because the Somalians are rather not in the position to be attacking and kidnapping American and European citizens just for the
hell of it. It is an act of desperation on their part. What would you do if nuclear waste were being dumped in your town? You watched your friends
and family dying? Just give yourself a moment to think about it. This is the issue that the little stupid arguments about coincidences and soap
operas obliterate.
This story-at best- is propaganda to make the average American feel OK about what is happening to Somalia.
Pirates!! Our boys save blonde humanitarian from savages!! Go Navy!!
