The official said the status of the other pirates is unknown but they were reported to "be in the water." The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

USA! USA! USA!

Arrrgghh ...glug, glug, glug.

They didn't realize the cook was an ex-Navy Seal.

Very good.

One pirate in custody. I hope we got a mug shot with an eye patch.

 

[Starman]

Bring in a US Navy crew to execute all the pirates and throw 'em overboard, with full video-cam coverage to be immediately posted on the internets.

Thereby ensuring that there will be 100 more Somali pirates by Friday night.

There will be anyway. Maybe a few of them will quit when they see the tapes of the floating bodies.

Yellowbeards are never more dangerous than when we're dead.

Things like that seems to encourage this element of folk. How it played out is probably the best way it could.

Outstanding.

As for the Somali pirates, they're pretty much always going to be around because that line of work is better than starving to death. I also read an article a few years back on how some of them are only 10 or 11 because their fathers look at as the "family business," and train their sons early.

Plus, they get all sorts of tail when they come ashore.

All the grog you can drink at the Somali Tortuga.

You're thinking of terrorists. Pirates do it because it's a good job in that part of the world. If you could join a pirate crew or starve to death in Mogadishu, that's more of an encouragment more than having your cousin killed in a raid.

UPDATE:

The ship's captain has been taken hostage but most of the rest of the crew is free.

One-liner of the day. Awesomeness.

Even better than an "angry pirate" joke.

I hope the pirates aren't looking at CNN's website and find out there's a coalition warship on the way.
