Are there any British citizens on board? The SAS would properly deal with the "not yet dead."

yeah, but now they are picking slightly different targets:

The latest seizures were the Lebanese-owned cargo ship MV Sea Horse, the Greek-managed bulk carrier MV Irene E.M. and two Egyptian fishing boats

One was primarily a Filipino crew, and I think they had been paying previously.

Actually that IS how some of the US rolls.

seems like the only state that really executes anyone is Texas. and especially not a political prisoner

[dmek25]

too late, that only covers people that violate the patriot act

LOL...of course he's kidding, he is John Bolton wingman after all.

[saden1]

If I had to guess I would guess they take him to Kenya and let them deal with him.

I have a very hard time believing they're avoiding US owned ships. Better have that Canadian flag ready folks.

[CRedskinsRule]

Why would you have a hard time believing that. These guys are profiteers, if Filipino crews pay, and American crews fight/shoot, well which group would you go after? (not saying your a pirate at all Saden )

If the pirates only go after non-U.S. ships it will make the rest of the world hate us even more. We need to do our fair share in terms of being attacked by these pirates. Especially since it is our oppressive capitalist system that has made Somalia so poor and forced these young people to resort to such measures in order to feed their families.
