No, I haven't seen it, but thanks....I'll check it out now.
I've been freaking out over this "turtle thing"! Now our Secret Service, Homeland Security folks have to worry about turtles with things attached that look like pipe bombs??? And we just told all the bad guys exactly where and how they can send in a bomb!!!
Because of the environmentalists....are our law enforcement forces going to be put at risk and overlook a detonating turtle??
This is insane.
1) I don't know.
2) I don't know.
3) I don't know.

Tanker Calling At Indonesian Refinery Attacked By Pirates
SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--An Aframax tanker of 100,000 tons deadweight capacity waiting in waters near Indonesia's Balongan refinery in West Java was attacked by pirates May 19, representatives of tanker-owner lobby group the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners, or Intertanko, said Friday.
John Fawcett-Ellis, Asia Pacific manger for Intertanko, said at a press briefing that the loaded Singapore-flagged vessel belonging to a member of Intertanko was waiting to discharge when it was attacked.
The crew onboard the unidentified tanker, a relatively difficult vessel to board because of its size and height, was attacked by men with knives, said Fawcett-Ellis and his colleague, Peter Swift, Intertanko's managing director.
The pirates took with them auxiliary engine spare parts on the ship, a move that isn't consistent with petty robbers, who usually go for cash and mobile phones, the Intertanko representatives said.
Intertanko officials said the incident raises concerns at a time when terrorist attacks are on the rise, and in this particular case, is even more distressing, as the men boarded a tanker in waters near an Indonesian naval base.(snip)
