More Darn Pirates--WTF????

[Sweetwater]

One more thing...and I can't relocate where I read this...but ran across a legal opinion that now that pirates have murdered US citizens in international waters, that the Navy (and other forces) have been presented with a wider scope of options in dealing with the pirates. I'll watch with interest.

Here is some interesting notes (lawfare) regarding piracy: EagleSpeak: Somali Pirates Kill American Hostages from Captured Yacht

Still takes a political will to do anything about it - even then, not dropping a few bombs and its over.
