AMERICAN CAPTAIN FREED; 3 PIRATES KILLED, 1 IN CUSTODY

The fourth was aboard the USS Bainbridge at the time, no need to scratch the paint on a warship to make the point. Although I do agree that even in our modern electronic navy there should be someone who can fashion a noose from materials at hand.

The great news is there are now, somewhat reasonable ROE. Just a little bit of generalization and the skiffs will be sunk the moment they turn towards a ship.

I was so happy to tell my Dad that his service had done the right thing.

That is a mistake IMO


From what I heard on the radio yesterday, DOJ is trying to decide where to try him. Just great, treat the guy like a common criminal and try him in US District Court in Manhattan (which is one of the options being discussed).
