Breaking. Per CBS radio news.. the crew has regained control of the ship throwing three pirates overboard and capturing one.. Was there a plank involved?

Good thing they have a very powerful leader to guide this military... oh wait, he was just “MONITORING THE SITUATION”? Never mind, good thing we have such good soldiers and navy personel...

Trying to increase hits on CBS’s website? No reference I can find to article about this news item...
To: Robe
I’ve looked over the CBS site and don’t see anything about what you posted...the only breaking news being shown is Joe Biden greeting marines coming home from Iraq at Ft Bragg...

I won’t be surprised if Obama tries to prosecute them for not giving the Muslim pirates due process.
