US crew overtakes Somali pirates

Agreed. Excellent work.

I also agree with Starman that the fourth pirate should have been summarily executed and his body dumped in the ocean on live TV.

 

So what happens to the fourth pirate if they don't make him walk the plank?

 

I was wondering that, myself.

I mean, do we still have maritime courts?

 

Two things:

• Yeah, they won't know the difference ... all they'll know is that they grabbed a hostage and got paid.
• Once you pay Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.

 

An ongoing problem with Somali pirates is that no country wants to assume responsibility for prosecuting them.

 

Then don't arrest them.

 

yawn gives all the glory to obama.

 

Can somebody tell CNN that a story is no longer "Breaking News" after the captain was rescued 5 hours ago? Also, did you guys hear on CNN today when the anchor said the captain would be "reignited" with his family instead of reunited. Hasn't he been through enough?

 

good for our guys.

 

Subtle, yet works for me...

 

This little phrase catch anyone else's attention? Other officers? CIA? NSA? Navy?

Sounds like they did a good job, whoever they were.

 

Read my mind, bags, though I don't know if we'll ever know exactly who everyone works for...
