From the AP via the Houston Chronicle as of a few minutes ago:

A U.S. official says the crew of an American-flagged vessel hijacked off the coast of Somalia has retaken control of the ship and has one pirate in custody.

The official said the status of the other pirates is unknown but they were reported to "be in the water." The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

Per Fox News, our crew isn’t even armed — but trained well to protect the ship.

Note to pirates. Don’t mess with Americans. We may have a surrender monkey for president but the rest of us will fight for what is right.

Why worry about torture? Do whatever you want to them because it is sailing under a Norwegan flag so anything that happens to them can be blamed on the vikings.

...the crew has regained control of the ship throwing three pirates overboard

Isn't that water torture?

Those Americans will be brought up on charges. The international court and the democrats will see to that.

I’m sure the ACLU will be contacting the ship’s company with reagrds to a wrongful death law suit. Certainly these pirates were poor impoverished souls who grew up without a strong father figure and were forced to resort to piracy as a means to cope with the miserable life they endured. If only the US had built schools in Somalia...
