Somali bomb attack targets president Abdullahi Yusuf. The attack undermines a UN-mediated cease-fire signed last week between the government and opposition groups as the country's humanitarian crisis worsens.

The Somali bomb attack was set up by the Al-Shabaab terror group linked to Al-Qaida, this is the same group that runs the website http://www.kataaib.net/ that can bee seen translated at the following website http://abushabaab.wordpress.com/ , this website promotes terrorism in Somalia, seeks recruits for jihad and is a source for receiving financing for the group and is hosted by the Dotster web company in Vancouver Washington USA.

Al-Shabaab is the same terror group that reporter COURTNEY SHERWOOD for the Columbian Newspaper respects their right to free speech and supports the Dotster web hosting company in not shutting this terror website down, even though the USA lists them as a Designated Terrorist Organization, how does COURTNEY SHERWOOD feel today, how many more people have to be blown up before Dotster web hosting in Vancouver WA shuts down http://www.kataaib.net/ ?

Bill, your allegations about my personal views and about my reporting are completely unfounded. This is a link to the only story I have written on this topic:
http://www.columbian.com/business/businessNews/2008/05/05062008_Dotster-under-fire-for-Web-content.cfm

Where does in the article linked above does say that I support the Web site you refer to? Where does it say that I support Dotster? Where do I express any opinion at all? Nowhere. You are spreading lies about me, and I am calling you on it. Please stop now.

You have had your attempts to bring down militant Islamic Web sites chronicled by the media before, so I have a hard time understanding why the professional obligations of a journalist are so hard for you to grasp.

It would have been unethical of me to print your allegations about Dotster without giving the company an opportunity to respond. It would have been unethical and unprofessional to write about your campaign to get kataaib.net taken off the Web without writing about the issues surrounding what you want to accomplish.

It strikes me as unprofessional, dishonest and unkind of you to levy personal attacks against me for telling the whole story.

In addition to commenting here on my personal site, you have already written to me at my work e-mail address, you have posted to my work blog, and you have posted rude allegations about me on the Internet in an "open letter to Courtney Sherwood" that you never actually sent to me.

I'll approve any response you have to my comments in this thread, but otherwise please do not contact me through my personal Web site again. You know the appropriate channels to reach me.
