Make them walk the plank. Or they could be keel-hauled.

Not to put too fine a point on it.... but wouldn't it be better if the pirates.... um.... got lost in the transfer or something?

I thought taking prisoners was a "Law of Land Warfare" thing.

The title was misleading. It was the CIVILIAN crew that defeated the pirates and set fire to their boat. The Danish warship only picked up the swimming pirates.

That’s more of what I expect from the European military. I’m sure the miscreants will get a stern talking to and be released to France where they can set fire to people’s cars. .

It is unclear what will happen to the pirates detained on Friday.

Pirates? What pirates?

Let’s see now? Pirates, burning useless skiff and no way home? I’d say send the other vessel on its way and then get underway myself. See ya, maties! The fish are hungry!

Capturing or “detaining” any pirate or terrorist is foolishness.

How can you hang a pirate from the yardarm when you don't even have yardarms anymore?

They can swim, can't they?

Oh. So sorry. Maybe next time.

Maybe.

“It is unclear what will happen to the pirates detained on Friday.”

Just let them swim back to shore.

From about 20 miles out with a sand bag tied to each leg.

An Admiralty Court Martial followed by hanging from a yardarm is the only effective solution to piracy.

"he Danish support vessel Absalon, which currently heads Task Force 150 operations in the Gulf of Aden has detained five Somali pirates after sinking their vessel, according to Admiral Danish Fleet."

Do you suppose there's something amiss in the translation?

Perhaps they wrote "detained" when the Danish word really meant "killed in the most horrifyingly painful way imaginable?"

As God is my witness, I thought pirates could swim.

Release them at sea with some anchor chain for buoyancy.
