The mooselimb fools prolly died with happy thoughts: “At least I got me loot so I can have me pick of the hottest 72 of the stable of virgins in heaven waiting for me ... “

It occurs to me that if one were competent, well armed, and had a decent boat with about ten friends (one of whom lived in the Cook Islands or some other tax haven) there would be a snootful of money to be made out of piracy, with nearly no downside to consider. All of it tax free.
I wonder that Western organized crime hasn’t gotten involved: it would have to be tempting, and it can’t be that difficult if these Somali punks can do it.

Two matters come to mind for me:
1. Whoever owned the oil may have made money as the price of oil increased while the tanker was being held.
2. Other "pirates" are probably making money off "robbing" the pirates. (Pretty common in the dope business too.)

Obama is a compasionate man, he will take part of the $300 billion stimulus money and help them too. We’re all part of this same world, spread the wealth. Eventually Obama will use YOUR 401k plan to help others. Obama reasoning: It wasn’t the pirates fault, they’re only doing what they have to do to feed their families. Not all of this message is sarcasm.

Perhaps they put all the Gold Doubloons and Pieces of Eight on one side of the boat causing it to capsize?

I would have blown the small craft out of the water as it was leaving the tanker. If any pirates had survived I would have rescued them as it is called for in Maratime Law. I would then have given them a Captain’s Mass, and if found guilty, HANGED THE GUILTY!

Gee if they were in Michigan the DNR would have made sure thy had the proper sticker on their boat and the proper life preservers, and no one hanging out of the boat while under travel. How unfortunate.

"There has been human and monetary loss but what makes us feel sad is that we don't still have the dead bodies of our relatives. Four are still missing and one washed up on the shore." Human and monetary loss?!!

The sad truth is, Hell just got a bit more crowded.
