I guess people have forgotten about Black Hawk Down and the pirates who beheaded the Christian couple in their sailboat. I don’t want my tax dollars feeding the enemy.
This looks like a wholly private affair, not a government lobbying campaign, but yeah, this territory would include Somalia wouldn’t it. This includes some hard core pirates who’d happily hijack Google aid ships. Not that I’d mind Google dollars going to Blackwater (or whatever it’s called now) for security. I’d happily patronize Google again if they’d blow a bunch of pirates away to get their aid in.
