MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) - An American ship captain was freed unharmed Sunday in a U.S. Navy operation that killed three of the four Somali pirates who had been holding him for days in a lifeboat off the coast of Africa, a senior U.S. intelligence official said.That's good news. Three pirates dead. One wounded.
One of the pirates was wounded and in custody after a swift firefight, the official said.
What would make a perfect ending to this story? If the US Navy announced tomorrow morning that the surviving pirate had been tried at Captain's Mast, found guilty of piracy, and hanged.
Never going to happen as long as the ciuntry is run by lawyers who worry how the rest of the world thinks of us.
ReplyDeleteNow the US needs to carpet bomb the Somali coast until l there is no living creature let alone any boat or ship. Not gonna happen though...
