FoxNews mentioned yesterday, that the terrorist attack warning that Australia announced included specifically "an attack on a ship near Somalia". I haven't heard them mention it again, nor have I seen it on the web, but it's interesting that none of the other media even mention the possibility that it was a terror attack, and the Australian Foreign Minister specifically mention that as a distinct possibility.

It's war, and the good guys aren't fighting like they want to win.

I think it's time to rearrange the rubble in Mogadishu...
But this time --- refuse to accept any refugees...
If there are any sane Somalians, they need to STAY in Somalia to offset the lunatics..

This is typical of how they handle almost all terror attacks. Remember the shoe bomber was at first dismissed as harmless, for instance. Then there's the bombing at OU, which no one in an official capacity will admit was more than just a suicide. I'm convinced that if only one plane had hit the WTC, we'd still be hearing that it was an accident.

I think that all the pirates in that area are muslims. Little fact the article left out.

It's a religion of peace, and it's the end of 'holy' Ramadan. So what would any peaceful religion do to celebrate? Attack a civilian cruise ship, what else?

The 7.5-metre inflatable boats approached the vessel... So if the crew of the Seabourn Spirit had returned fire, the pirates/terrorists could be sleeping with or in the fishes.

I find unexploded missles all the time. What's the big deal.

"....but it's possible the people who attacked the ship were terrorists," he said.
Shades of the Achille Lauro. I can't help wondering what it takes for the media to call terrorism what it is.........terrorism.
