Dude. That’s from 2007. Duuude.

[Ramius]

That’s a different ship.

[saquin]

Um, that CNN story is about a Korean ship with Korean crew.

[ArrogantBustard]

Your link carries a story from October 2007, about a North Korean ship.

Try again.

[Deo volente]

Uhh, that’s a story from 2007 about a North Korean freighter.

[NCjim]

That seems to be about a North Korean freighter, not the Maersk Alabama

[The Anti-One]

"...where a U.N.-backed transitional government is struggling to restore order after 15 years of near-anarchy."

Sort of says it all about the UN eh? I can't believe the people of this country allow idiots like der Führer Obombanation to continuously move us in the direction of letting these same UN buffoons rule us. Shameful I tell you. The US should blockade Somalia and surround their borders with troops keeping the Somalian citizens trapped inside their country and not allow any contact with the outside world until they grow up and decide to play nice with the rest of the world or die; whichever comes first^???, personally don't care.
What more than likely happen now is the 20 American crew members will be brought before the world court and either executed or imprisoned for life for the roles they played in re-acquiring the ship while their family members will be forced to repay the pirates' families a lifetime of compensation for all pain and suffering over the losses they suffered when their pirate kin were either killed or thrown in jail.

JMH two cents.

That story is from October 30 and different boat.
