What would Thomas Jefferson do?
The incident ought to conclude with a gurgling sound coming from Davey Jones’ locker.
Wow, take them to court. Bet they are scared!
Oh that’s great. Sue the pirates in court. Marvelous.
Agreed. I suspect that this is the result Obama has been negotiating for behind the scenes.
What part of “pirates” doesn’t the AP understand? Take them to court??? This PC culture is gonna get us all killed someday.
They’ll get a very expensive legal defense team paid for by you and I. Figure it out.
Think the FBI agents are seasick?
Yep. The American crew will be charged with the death of the pirates that were killed and/or thrown overboard. If not a criminal case, a cival case by some low life lawyers.
Maritime piracy and other violence at sea...(here)...

Ahhh...Yesss...of course..a COURT...the PROPER venue for an Ivy League poofter to demonstrate their mastery of men and their enemies...no messy guns, boats, dirty ammunition, cold wet..etc...
But who would have ‘standing’ ?
Back to treating terrorists as common criminals. The Clinton regime is baaaaaack!
If true, don’t bother. Our lib-O-Dumb judges will set ‘em free anyway. Better to spend the monies on ACORN fake voters, Chicago corruption, or new dresses for the Obamaloon wife.
Wow, I feel safer already. Now I don’t have to worry about pirates stealing ships, endangering the lives of people, and asking for enormous ransoms. The courts will take care of it.
And can the ACLU and Legal Aid represent them?
This crap will continue until some country’s navy has the balls to try these pirates on board their ship in international waters, hang them by the necks until dead and then throw their carcasses overboard.
Nope, keel haul them, then let the bodies float up on Somali shores.
Watch, they will be tried in international court, It will go fantastically well, all will praise the wisdom and outcome of this messianic body, and so we see one of the many births of the New World Order! Setup?
Here’s a comparison of other Presidential Crises, with hostage-taking and military/civilians killed (various actions against our civilians and/or actions that we took in response to such crises. It’s a good comparison for what is going on today, as to what has happened in the past with other Presidents...

Please help add more so I can update this. If there is another event that happened within a particular President’s term (hostages taken, military killed in actions regarding the crisis, etc...), give me the info and any pertinent links.
An emergency meeting of the UN’s security council should be called immediately.
This piracy crap has to stop and there needs to be a very strong resolution passed to send a message of the seriousness of this situation. Failure to stop these illegal actions may result in serious consequences. /s
A SEAL team would have been in and out with the hostage and the pirates would not have even known what hit them. This should have been over already.
The cowardly 0bama administration has told the navy not to hurt the pirates and will surely pay any money and suffer any humiliation required. I can just envision 0bama bowing at the waist to the pirate king.
From Andre Pachter today: http://chinaconfidential.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-tested-by-3-hostage-crises.html#links
“As of this writing, U.S. President Barack Obama is facing three simultaneous hostage crises—and showing weakness on all fronts.
Two American reporters are being held in North Korea.
An Iranian-American journalist is being held in Iran.
And an American merchant marine captain is being held—by Muslim pirates—off the coast of Somalia.
All this is being played out in the wake of the President’s unprecedented bow to the King of Saudi Arabia—a deep, submissive bow from the waist, captured by video and still cameras but initially ignored by the mainstream media.
Not since the catastrophic Carter administration, which betrayed Iran’s Shah, allowed Americans to be taken and held hostage in Tehran—and allowed an Iranian-controlled, ideologically-motivated, American hit man, an African-American convert to Islam, to escape the U.S. after gunning down a former Iranian diplomat in the doorway of his Bethesda, MD suburban home—has the U.S. appeared so helpless and vulnerable in the face of foreign aggression.
Not since the 1930s has the world seen such appeasement, experienced such economic and financial turmoil. Back then, the U.S. was led by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Confined to a wheelchair, he beat the Axis and the Great Depression.
Is Barack Hussein Obama capable of defeating the Great Recession and the Axis of Nuclear Evil? Extremely doubtful. BHO is no FDR.”
Small Claims Courts were set up to deal with exactly such situations. That’s why we sent FBI lawyers on the scene. Is Judge Judy available?
Maybe Barry the Zero can send these pirates to counter them...
