  • “but I suspect that this information ‘may’ not be released”

    For that reason probably any story we hear from the Navy concerning this incident is suspect, and not that giving us a bogus story is a bad thing. I prefer them to have the advantage of secrecy versus satisfying my curiosity.

I agree completely.  My great hope is that they would tell us that the Moon is made of green cheese, if doing so was important to keeping our nation or our national assets safe and there was no real way around the matter other than to tell us that.  The 'public's right to know' is all well and nice up to a point, but considering that a former 'President' gave nuclear secrets to the Chinese and our current "President" looks like he may damage us far, far worse, I want us to maintain every single tactical and strategic advantage against America's enemies that we can, and if that means that we, the public, might not have an exact handle on precisely what type of cheese the Moon is made of, well, I can live with that.

Finslly found those comments from the crew about the president.... he said it all.

Freed U.S. captain’s crew jump for joy at release

*snip*

“We are very happy. He’s a hero,” a crew member of the Maersk Alabama shouted at journalists amid raucous celebrations aboard the vessel, which docked in Kenya’s Mombasa port after a failed attempt to hijack it earlier in the week.

“We made it!” shouted one colleague, punching the air as a red emergency flare screeched into the night sky. Others hung a large Stars and Stripes flag from a rail high up the ship.

***Another crewman said the pirates had hunted them for days***

before the attack on Wednesday, and he urged Barack Obama’s administration to send more military forces to the region to stamp out the threat to shipping.

“Tell the president to get these guys. It shouldn’t come to that,” he said, referring to their pursuit. Like other elated crewmen who spoke to journalists, he declined to be named.

Totally agree. Our military suffers under these pinheads and they need every advantage they can get.
