Yep..., total BS..., since no one has supplied *any* confirmation, no links, no story.... someone just made this one up... LOL...
To: Carling
Drudge still says the ship is in the control of the pirates.

Nothing on Google News or anywhere else, for that matter.

I keep looking for either a confirmation, or a link, or a news story, or *something* — but there is *absolutely nothing*.
This appears to be a hoax...

Eviscerate the fourth pirate, then throw it overboard.

Not civilian freighters. The Maersk Alabama is a civilian (Danish) container ship and the DoD said it wasn’t on a defense-related contract; in fact, I haven’t seen anything on what it was carrying, except one report that it was “possibly food aid.”
The crews and ships are unarmed, and there’s no troops onboard. They’re reduced to frantic Mayday calls, evasive action, and manning the rails with firehoses to fight off thug pirates with assault rifles, heavy machine guns, and RPGs.

I understood from news reports that this was an ‘Alabama’ ship. ;-)Oh, man. That would be something: Don't screw with some Good ol' Boys.
To: Deo volente
I’m sure some sailor had women’s panties along to put on the pirates’ heads. O ba ma’s stooge, Rhambo, will be outraged.
