Interesting article, but I think this might have been a good time for our military to say "no comment" on how this mission was carried out. The pirates will surely be reading this and other articles on the net and update their tactics. A short "gee, we don't know how they died, they must have fell out of the lifeboat" would have sufficed. LOL. Plus, bringing no bodies back (wink, wink) would help sell the story.
I see this AM that more boats have been hijacked, bringing the total to 16 ships and 235 crew members. I hope that other countries follow the US lead and refuse to negotiate with these terrorists. A hard line will be the only way to make piracy unprofitable. A few ships may be sunk and a few lives lost, but paying ransom is not acceptable.
Also, seizing a ship carrying FREE food and supplies to Somolia should be cause for us to tell Somolia " Sorry, not worth the risk, can't send any more aid."
All in all, this incident shows that the US is STILL the # 1 country in the world. We need to start using that position to our advantage, get tough with countries that don't co-operate regarding trade, etc and start charging the world for our services as the World's policeman.
