#1 Wouldn't even being grazed by a bullet from a US warplane pretty much mean you were a goner, let alone 12 of them?!?!

#2 Bullet wounds could mean anything, bomb shrapnel, fragments from cannon rounds. As long as he's full of holes, it's all good.

#3 he suffered more than a dozen bullet wounds after US planes fired on his forest hideout.

Not a very good hideout, was it?

#7 Ahmed was appealing to go to the hospital. How many men did he allow to go to the hospital when he was in power? As a senior holy man, and a member of the Somalia Islamic Courts Council, how many men did he send to the grave yard? Perhaps he should be treated as he treated others.

#8 he should never have been taken alive, overtly. Wrap and strap him out to a third country and distill anything he knows, then feed the fish
