Their eyesight must be getting bad as this is the 2nd warship they have attacked in the past week or so.

I heard that and cracked up laughing. Keystone Pirates.

They are being held on the ship. That means they are getting three squares a day for a week or so. Given the state of their country I guess I don't see anything wrong with that. They should swab the decks or something though. Leg irons with the ball and chain that was on the Pawn show the other night would keep them from escaping

Bal and chain? Just a few lengths of anchor chain and see how well they can swim.

Or use the cartoon of them sending a terrorist home from an aircraft carrier. Put them in a car and then attach it to the catapult and launch it.

I know this is not PC, but if we take all capturerd pirates for the next three months and "eliminated" them, there would be no more piracy. Hell we sacrificed thousands of innocent japanese civilians in Hiroshima for "the greater good" of WWII.

Take out all pirates for three months and there will be no more problem. The way it is now we just let them all go scott free. We don't even detain most of them. Why would they not be pirates. They have NOTHING to lose.

(Being the person that I am, I would not personally do it, but IT WOULD WORK)

There are old pirates and there are bold pirates. But there are no old, bold pirates!!

OK, the original was Pilots not pirates.

Reminds me. Watched a program about snipers on the military channel. The young sniper in Iraq commented to his older NCO spotter that the insurgents were surprisingly fast on their feet. The old NCO said, "Yeah, we ran out of slow ones a couple of years ago!!"

From the article:

"Last May, pirates chased a U.S. Navy warship and fired small arms at it. The ship, which had recently served as a prison for captured pirates, increased speed and evaded the attack."

This done not sound good...
