Negotiations Break Down in Standoff With Pirates
Negotiations over the American captain taken hostage by Somali pirates broke down on Saturday, according to Somali officials, after American officials insisted that the pirates be arrested and a group of elders representing the pirates refused.
The negotiations broke down hours after the pirates fired on a small United States Navy vessel that had tried to approach the lifeboat not long after sunrise Saturday in the Indian Ocean.
It was the first such approach since the standoff began on Wednesday, and the vessel returned to a nearby Navy destroyer, the Bainbridge, after the pirates fired warning shots in the air, according to an American military official.
The American boat did not return fire and “did not want to escalate the situation,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Somalia won’t arrest the pirates, well isn’t that special.
Let them loose, track them down again and kill them.
Well, at least we asked.
The Captain most likely has exposure and with every passing hour he’s in more trouble. If weve wasted time negotiating with tribal “elders” on shore this episode will lead to the sinking of this administration.
