Clearly, the 0bummer Administration will need to prosecute these sailors for inhumane treatment of the poor and Peace Loving(tm) Muslim victims of Overseas Contingency Operations.

The CIVMARs are too smart to leave any evidence ....and the rest of the world couldn’t give a rat’s rectum about the pirates anyway.

My guess is none of the American Crew were liberals like Barack Hussein.

Barack Hussein would have apologized to the pirates for years of capitalist expoloitation of third world nations, forcing medical advances, better agricultural practises, public sanitation and personal hygeine on their co-religionists. He would have tried to understand the pirates culture and world view. Finally, he would have whipped out a few ACORN membership applications for them.

Still no confirmation.

Here’s the story at CBS news, with no such update as yet:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/08/world/main4928088.shtml?tag=topStories;secondStory

Mostly it says that everyone in the Obama administration is thinking this over. That’s a great comfort!

Oh no, we are WATERBOARDING again!!

I think this might be acceptable as it is closer to execution than torture. We can still execute them I believe. Still, did they hit the water with any weights attached or holes in the flesh? If not, the pirates might have chance, if they are good swimmers. It's only 400 miles to land.

SeeBS News? Hmm, my first instinct is that this is incorrect information, but then again, they aren't reporting that Obama parachuted on to the ship and threw the pirates overboard by himself. So, maybe it is true?

Excuse me, but don’t we have Marines on these ships to prevent stuff like this?
