    Here is a video report about another U.S. Cargo ship, the Liberty Sun, being attacked by Somali Pirates last night who failed to take control of the ship. The USS Bainbridge was in the vicinity and responded to calls for help. The Pirates attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire. The Bainbridge was able to drive the Pirates away and is now escorting the ship. No one was injured. . . . . . (Watch Video)

    Yes, you read that right. As Obama prepares to address the question of whether we can even try the fourth pirate -- he may be "too young and therefore will be repatriated to Somalia" -- Holder reportedly agonizes over whether the murderous thug was properly Mirandized, or whatever. This Administration is clinically insane.

    A luxury liner sailing off the coast of Somalia fended off an attack by gunmen in speedboats early Saturday morning in an area notorious for piracy. None of the mostly American passengers aboard the Seabourn Spirit were harmed but one crew member was lightly injured as they repelled the attackers without returning fire. The crew used an on-board loud acoustic bang to fight off the attackers, leading them to believer they were under heavy fire. Since March 2005, there have been 23 attacks against oceangoing vessels, including one against a ship delivering food from the U.N.'s World Food Program.
