Jeez Herb, little hard on the guy?  He was wearing "Somalian" garb because
his father is Kenyan and he was visiting Kenya.  If your parents were from
Turkey and you were visiting their home town, would it be so wrong to wear
Turkish clothes?  This is just another attempt to discredit the guy.  "Swift
Boaters for the Truth"  all over again. - rob
