The Virginian Pilot had a picture of the guy in his raft on their website, they have since taken down.

Possibilities:

• Al Gore, with the Social Security Lockbox

Someone ghot ahold of Hillary’s lockbox where she has the cajones of the feckless pubbies stored. I can see whyt the boat was towed rather than boarded.

I think FreeRepublic needs to borrow from FaceBook and add a 'Like' response. Also, not like FaceBook, there should be a 'Dislike' response.

So many of these comments need a 'thumbs up'!

There is 24 hr. security around these military vessels while they are in port. They don’t play games with crazies in boats.
One warning shot across your bow..and if you don’t change course...kablamo!

The man had a chain wrapped around his neck attached to a 2 foot by 1 foot black box.

Anyone who ever lost their tacklebox overboard would have left the guy alone.........

If he is a suicide bomber then more than likely he was high on drugs when they made contact with him.

You’re quite correct about security at normal Naval ports/ moorages. My point of interest was that the drydocks at both Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Newport News Shipyard are directly exposed to the river channel and the US Navy has to let normal pleasure boat type traffic pass by. It would be superfoolish on the part of the neighborhood patrols to not consider rubber duck boy as a test to find out just how small a floating piece-of-krap could drift by a drydock caison un-noticed. Probably worse would be the notion that ducky boy was doing a drift test-—as in how close would a mine naturally float to a caison. I can’t overemphasize how much damage might be done if a caison were to fail with a super carrier in drydock/overhaul. And if I were a cut throat hoodlum trying to figure out how to do some max damage for really low dollars this would be at the top of my list of possibles-—a blown caison would make the USS Cole incident look like a minor cut. This is the one place where our super carriers are vulnerable to the max-—un-armed, immobile, and in drydock. Just sayin’ and hope our guys are actually on top of it.
