Huh?

From AP:
NAIROBI, Kenya – Danish special forces stormed a ship captured by armed Somali pirates Friday and freed the 25 crew on board, an EU naval spokesman said, marking the first time a warship has intervened during a hijacking.
If I remember correctly, some US Navy SEALS successfully implanted Patriot Microchips in a group who had a ships captain hostage. maybe they don't count that because it was in a life raft?

Anyway, good to see international efforts stepping up on the pirates. If we do this right, we can have em all united with their 72 virgins by July.

We still need to work on American Pravda though, there is something just so wrong in this paragraph:
Piracy is one of the few ways to make money in Somalia, an arid, impoverished land torn apart by civil war. The government does not hold its own capital and can't send forces to counter the flourishing pirate bases that dot its 1,900-mile
(3,100-kilometer)-long coastline

Calling crime a job? Get real.
