It is my understanding that he wasn't just an interpreter, he was a fully trained US Marine (his warlord father had sent him to the US to be educated and the son had ended up enlisting in the USMC). I find that even more disturbing, that a trained US Marine ended up becoming a factional warlord in Somalia.
