JohnnyD, I don't know.
I'm no fan of the UN, they claim to be peacekeepers I'd like to see some.
There needs to be a global effort to combat this common occurance.

I'm think the UN is generally a useless assembly. However, there are global measures being put into place. The problem exists with the vast size of the area needed to be recovered. Ships are so small as it is very difficult to pick them p by radar unless the pirates are extremely close.

It is a problem of law. What law, who's law, and where. Solve that riddle Batman and then you can apply a response.

Now, the fact that the Sammies whacked an US FLAG ship, I hope to see them wind up in US court system (though that would probably be a lifestyle improvement).

Reports are though that they have the Captain hostage. Rumors are that some of the crew (officers?) are from Mass / Mass Maritime.

For the crew that took back the ship, where do you want your beer delivered?

Hey Beamie - you out there? Look to hear your thunking on this. If you're not in town, least hope you were hangin' around the IDL instead of the Horn.
