I think it is time to take some pro-active action. If there is no law...it is a free for all and we are justified in protecting our assets.

I am not a high seas lawyer but it is time that those on board have weapons and are trained on how to keep people off the ship when in the open ocean. It would help if the UN established some laws...like, something as simple as staying 1000' away from ships while in international waters. If you approach closer...expect a warning shot, alarms and lights to go off and on-land officials are notified...if you continue on course the ships has the right to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect it self from boarding.

If they take someone hostage...send in the seals. Flush these scumbags. BTW, where the hell is Obama on this matter?

Would you sail the open sea's without weapons?

Brilliant.
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Maybe he's waiting for the Air Craft Carriers and the Press to arrive so He can land on the Flight Deck in his neatly pressed flight suit.

what the hell can he do??? We've sent a Friggin Destroyer and the FBI there.....pretty sure that is a good response to a few guys in a rowboat.
