>>Pirates who launch armed attacks in Indonesian waters should be shot on sight without mercy, Indonesia's navy chief said yesterday.
Amen. Any terrorist should suffer the same fate. Do it to them before they do it to us.

I understand that piracy is a big problem in that part of the world. If it works, do it.

the way things are going it would be better to shoot than arrest them, since being a prisoner , kept warm and fed free meals 3 times a day now days amounts to abuse not accepted by international law.

Indonesia has the world's worst piracy record, with 21 reported attacks in the first three months of this year, according to the International Maritime Bureau..
Would someone explain how a 40,000 ton tanker can be robbed by rag tag pirates in dinky scows? Why don't they get everyone below decks and go at flank speed?

I might even shoot before I see them.

Yikes, an extreme response to a nine-game losing streak (especially now that they've snapped it)!

Wouldn't it be tempting to apply the same attitude in dealing with those who have PIRATED the law and the constitution?
Let's apply this to the ACLU while we're at it.

Hopefully, Indonesia will
NOT allow America to get involved in the Starights. Our track record [with terrorists and illegal immigrants] is one of appeasement, release and failure.
I think their idea of "shooting on sight" is much better than our version of "justice."
