Excellent idea. The free market would solve the problem much more quicly and more efficiently than a government/military run operation. They could even do a “Dawg the Bounty Hunter” type reality show and have DVDs distributed along the Somalia coast.

Privateer issued a letter of marque to a particular purpose, not taking direct orders from above.
