Arrested? They wanted it to sound like he was picked up for DUI or shoplifting - when they knew the truth was he was basically kidnapped by thugs in Kenya.
Behold.....the "Change and Hope" that is coming to America in 2009.
The seeds of a new civil war in America.

U.S. Ambassador Michael Ranneberger Iftaar Dinner Remarks Ambassadors Residence September 14, 2007
Ambassador Michael Ranneberger offers greetings to the 150 Kenyan and Somali Muslim guests at an Iftar Dinner he hosted at his residence September 14. He is joined by Ambassador John Yates, Special Envoy for Somalia.
Assalaam Aleikum. Ramadan Kareem. Im honored to host such a distinguished group of ladies and gentlemen for this Iftaar dinner.
I extend my greetings to all Kenyan and Somali Muslims in this holy month of Ramadan. As Secretary Rice said last week when she hosted an Iftaar at the State Department in Washington, these dinners afford us an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this holy month. More than one billion people find comfort and hope in Islam, and Ramadan inspires them to renew their faith through sacrifice and prayer, reflection and charity. People of all faiths can appreciate Ramadans spirit, one of love for family, devotion to community, and gratitude toward God.
