Piracy is lucrative off lawless Somalia and most kidnappers treat their captives well in anticipation of a good ransom.

Wow, those pirates are really swell, treating their prisoners so nice and all.

Wait a minute . . .

3,200 sailors had been kidnapped by pirates, 500 injured and 160 killed.

Oh, so they treat them well - by wounding or murdering more than one out of every five captives.

Thanks, Reuters!
