Indeed. I'm now waiting for the Usual Suspects to form committees to protest the pirate's prosecution and some legal bottom-feeders line up to defend him.
Too bad, really, he would have made a nice decoration, haning from the yardarm as the ship came into port.
It's the same old Leftist world-vision - terrorists, etc. are not military targets, just legal problems to be ajudicated in court.
I would guess that old Ramsey Clark will led the the defense âteamâ.
