MWNBC just said that the pirates who fired upon the US Navy ship are being given the benefit of the doubt because it was at night and they may not have known that it was a military target rather than a civilian one. So it's more of an offense to fire at a military ship than a tanker or a freighter? So the pirates were released b/c there is nowhere to put them? Irepeat: WTF?
I have an idea or two...I read the entire Hornblower saga and I know what was done with pirates back in the Napoleonic Wars.
