From the BBC:

“The captain of a US container ship taken hostage by Somali pirates has been released, the US Navy has said.
According to initial reports, three pirates were killed in the operation to free Captain Richard Phillips. Another is in custody.
Capt Phillips is said to be unhurt and on the USS Bainbridge, a warship sent to track the pirates holding him.
He was taken hostage last Wednesday after pirates briefly hijacked his ship, the Maersk Alabama.
Media reports say Capt Phillips’ family was informed of his release several hours ago.
Somali elders had been trying to resolve the standoff but most recent reports suggested the talks had stalled.”

Great News... WONDERFUL News...

Now, the second step MUST be taken...
Destroy the Mother Ship that came to assist the pirates.
Destory the smaller ships that came to give assistance.
Then, most importantly - Destroy the entire “port” city from whence the sonsuvbitches launched their attacks....

From my perspective, we couldn’t possible kill enough of the bastards - without regard for age, sex or level of “innocence”..

THAT is the response these African Islamists will understand.

Hmmmm, U.S. and France on the same page, in the meantime the Brits are afraid of violating human rights:

A daring French commando raid brought a five-day hostage crisis to a bloody end
