I’m just a stupid citizen, but it’s beyond me why the government doesn’t dump a load of counterfeit or marked bills on these pirates.

And then what? They take the marked bills back to their third world sewer and live high on the hog. The Navy should keep a ship between them and the shore and make it clear that the pirates aren't going anywhere unless the captain is released. If the captian goes free, then they go free. If the captain dies, then they die. No ransom. No bargains. Live or die, that's the only choice. Forget talk about 'bringing them to justice' because there isn't any justice in Somalia and international law about trying them is so vague as to be worthless. Make it simple enough for their 9 volt brains to comprehend. Give up the capain, and live. Kill the captain, and die. No more, no less.

I can get with that plan too.

Best answer yet.

This is a typical Somali pirate. He wants to rob, screw, get high and then repeat the process. You cant reason with this type of critter.

Live high on the hog in Somalia? I guess you could consider living in slums on a higher level is good in Somalia. But I agree.....no deals. Even if deals were made, get the captain back and sink them anyway.

Capture them the moment they don’t have a hostage, try them and jail them. I don’t care where.
