Haul them back to the USA and put them on trial for murder one.
Very bad idea. Keep them out of reach of the ACLU lawyers. Military commission on the deck of the USS >fill in the name of vessel here<, and then hang 'em from the yardarm. Best part, it's legal.
NO. ABSOLUTELY NO.
Kill them and dump their bodies at sea for the sharks.

Wrong answer. Immediate masthead trial followed by summary execution and burial at sea.
All perfect legal, and the most compassionate and sane response to piracy.
“It's more of a guideline really.”
“Haul them back to the USA and put them on trial for murder one.”
A more likely scenario will have in Minneapolis or San Diego collecting welfare.
No convene a Military Drum Head Courts Martial on the fan tail of the ship for the crime of Piracy and murder on the high seas. When convicted, decorate the ships yard arms with them.
“Haul them back to the USA and put them on trial for murder one.”
Naa,
Why waste more of my tax money with a trial and prison.
Better to sink the ship and let “Allah” give them the reward that they seek.
Why isn’t there a Sink First and ask questions later.
“Haul them back to the USA and put them on trial for murder one.”
No. They have no right to a trial in the USA. I have no knowledge what the “Law of the Sea” says about such things or even if such a “law” applies. But for the murder of innocent Americans on the high seas by rogues such as this, I don’t see why summary execution wouldn’t be appropriate.
Only if there is a keel involved in that hauling.
