    Evidently, the pirates employ a PR guy:

    The official in Washington who reported the shootout spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record. He refused to elaborate and said he had no way of confirming the deaths.

    But the pirate spokesman insisted the report was not true, that his colleagues were just celebrating the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr despite being surrounded by American warships and helicopters.

    "We didn't dispute over a single thing, let alone have a shootout," pirate spokesman Sugule Ali told The Associated Press by satellite telephone Tuesday.

    "We are happy on the ship and we are celebrating Eid," Ali said. "Nothing has changed."

    Am I the only one who think pirate PR sounds like a promising career option right now?

    I just hope they give you Sept. 19 (Talk Like a Pirate Day) as one of their paid holidays.
