That’s because they’re still cruising the shipping lanes where the slave ships used to go, hoping for bodies to drop.

Have you ever made a typo? Oh I guess not. Look at the position of the “V” and the “B” on your keyboard. Does not take a genius to figure it out!

They may have been carrying a security detail that responded after they boarded and felt secure. I hope they didn’t violate any of the pirates rights.

Any word yet on how much the crew is asking for ransom of the somali pirate?

This has GOT to be negotiated, send Hillary!

I’m sure Obama will be offering apologies to the Pirates for the dastardly actions of the crew.

Do you suppose that the Maersk Alabama was actually trolling? Maybe with a crew of Seals, or former Seals? I’m surprised nobody has mentioned a crimson tide yet.

Yep... “breaking news” is *always conflicting* — to be sure. I’ve seen it too many times. It takes *time* for a news story like this to get facts straight...

You really cannot depend on anything you hear in the first few hours. It’s always got something wrong...

I’ll read the full printed story on it...
