Can you spell the word, "Gibbet"? I knew you could.

Repatriation from 30,000 feet sounds good to me.

Hang the SOB. To bring him back to stand trial will cost a fortune. Even if he is found guilty, they won’t hang him, but instead will make the American taxpayer support his sorry carcass for the next 60 years or more in a prison sell. It is simple economics. Two hour trial at sea. He is guilty by his own admission. Just hang him and toss his carcass to the sharks.

I think "yardarm" would be more seawordy in this case.
(....that is, if ships still have yardarms.)

C'mon folks!
These are enlightened times.
Let's think COMPROMISE here, okay?
Some would keep him in irons on the U.S. Navy ship, while others would just send him back to Somalia.
The compromise?
Send him exactly half-way back.

Kill this pirate and get it over with now. If they bring him to the US, he will walk.

We still have to deal with the story that he helped the Americans try to negotiate the other pirates to stand down....that will be interesting.
To: Panzerlied
He should be brought to the US, given a green card, a fully paid scholarship to Harvard and one of those $400,000 foreclosed homes in Boston. He needs to learn how great America really is. Maybe he could be appointed to the senate if Kennedy ever dies, or maybe John Kerry.
To: Panzerlied
Why is the US Government even discussing the options? Hang him from the bow of the ship while in harbor.

Federal law enforcement authorities are discussing what to do... What's to discuss? You follow the law. Or is the law applied arbitrarily in 0Bama's America? The tenor of the author suggests arbitrary application is OK with him.
This reminds me of why I hate CNN.

We still have to deal with the story that he helped the Americans try to negotiate the other pirates to stand down....that will be interesting. Well, if he helped us, he helped us and that merits consideration.
Since he is only 16, maybe the Obama's can adopt him. ;-)
