Looks like the Ruskies have a better idea of how to enforce laws against piracy than the Illegal and his stooges. Of course, since he pirated the Presidency, it's easy to see why the Illegal sympathizes with his co-religioniss, the Muslim pirates of Somalia.

Respect for the Russians. The pirates must have had an “accident”.

A precipitous onset of a severe case of swine flu, no doubt.

I love how they ‘freed’ them. most likely without food or water left then in a rubber raft miles from shore.

those poor yoots who attacked the Rsssian ship found it hard to row 300 miles back to shore with no water.
No navaids.
And no oars.

Maybe the Muslim pirates found out about Jew Fish and tried to suicide bomb them.

were quickly freed but then died on their way back to the Somali coastI suspect that they failed to free their boat too.
To: libstripper
I thought the report of their release was suspicious.
Now it is more clear — the Ruskies didn’t want to be holding them as their demises ensued.

Yes, they were H2O intolerant.
To: libstripper
We haven’t decided if they committed suicide or died trying to escape.

Russia doesn’t get too worked up about niceties like international law. On the other hand, I imagine the word has gotten out to the pirate community, avoid Russian ships at all costs.
