Quickhits - Potpourri
The Observer has an article on emails suggesting US/CIA involvement in Somalia. Not a surprise as it's been accepted for awhile, but documentation is rare.
CIA officers involved in renditions and the secret prisons are buying legal insurance.
The military in Columbia have been planting car bombs around the capital (one of them went off) in an effort to collect reward money.
Anderson Cooper was reporting live from Afghanistan on the 9/11 moment of silence when there was a rocket attack. (I can't link it directly. Look for "Anderson Cooper dodges attack" on the CNN homepage. It's in Latest News right now.)
Peter Bergen quoted a poll on CNN last night saying that 65% of Pakistanis approve of Bin Laden and don't want him caught.
And things are looking up for Harold Ford in Tennessee. He's pulled even, and his opponent may be facing nasty disclosures over a land deal three weeks from the election. (A whole bunch of Senate races have closed to the point that they will be decided by turnout.)
