This article is just plain insulting. "Islamic radicals?" I'm assuming the article refers to the Islamic Courts Council (ICC), which is now the functioning government of most of Somalia. Regardless of whether or not they are radicals, making them sound like a two-bit rebel movement is absurd, given that they are much more powerful than the transitional government and in control of a good part of the country.

Also, what does radical even mean? Since the article obviously assumes the reader has no knowledge of Somalia, it seems like a really perjorative term to use without citing evidence (or, hell, mentioning that the ICC has brought some semblance of order to the parts of the country which they control). Wouldn't "fundamentalist" be more apt?
