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 with the lone surviving pirate captured Sunday off Somalia's coast after a successful military rescue abruptly ended a five-day hostage standoff at sea.

So Guantanamo doesn’t look so bad, huh?
Repatriation from 30,000 feet sounds good to me.
Simmered with salt but put the liver in last.
Shoot the bas$ard.
Lets have him swim a few miles in the ocean with Obama’s Portuguese water doggie!
MAKE HIM LIVE WITH A BLEEDING HEART ACTIVIST JUDGE.
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.
(....that is, if ships still have yardarms.)

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.

Got Rope?
Kill this pirate and get it over with now. If they bring him to the US, he will walk.
Keel hauled comes to mind.
In all seriousness, the penalty isn’t death??? Why not?
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.
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.

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.
Jihad Watch: Somalis leaving Minnesota, returning home to wage jihad?
Well, if he helped us, he helped us and that merits consideration.
Since he is only 16, maybe the Obama's can adopt him. ;-)
