WASHINGTON - A U.S. official says the captured Somali pirate who held a merchant captain hostage will be brought to New York to face trial.
The government had been weighing whether to bring the suspect to trial in the United States or hand him over to authorities in Kenya, which has an international agreement to prosecute pirates.

Hey, was his Miranda rights read to him?
hahahahaha!
Maybe they should hold the trial offshore in international waters on the ship he tried to hijack.
What a waste. A short drop and sudden stop is all that be required.
Have him walk the plank.
I don’t believe the story. I heard he’s been given an ACORN card and a community organizer job in Chicago.
Book deal and Oprah gig to follow later in 09.
How long will it take the jury to acquit him - 20 minutes, maybe an hour to make it look like they really considered the “evidence”. God help this country.
I think this punk needs to “fall” out of the airplane or be found hanging in his cell
Riddle me This - Aren’t Somali pirates and Democrats the same thing?

Sorry about the Double Post. My stupid mistake - kind of like the election of Barack NObama - wait that is a disaster as well national tragedy.
Puh-leeeeze. This kid isn’t a pirate, he’s a Somali Sea Scout. He was only trying to ratchet up the points for his next merit badge.
He should hang out at Pelosi’s house as a guest until his trial.
I’m betting he will be acquitted on some technicality...not adequately apprised of his rights would be my guess.
I think the operative phrase is “Can be”...not “shall be”.
I still think it would be far better to warn this one that the US Navy will speed him and his friends to Allah, if they are caught so much as looking at a box of Capn’ Crunch, and turn him loose to go home and spread the word.
Ain’t gonna happen now, unless the French decide they’ve had enough....ain’t that somethin?? Who would have believed that was coming two years ago...??

Try him in Texas.
New York? The jury might think he was justified. A poor brother “taxing the greedy” shipping companies.
Is it any wonder that they support the Democrats?
