Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said, "We are bringing to bear a number of our assets, including naval and FBI, in order to resolve the hostage situation and bring the pirates to justice.""

The greatness of a nation is judged by the virtue of its freedom and the integrity of its authority. There was a time when our government recognized law enforcement was to implement force to bring criminality within the nation to justice, while the military was to bring foreign criminality of international law to justice.

The FBI has no jurisdiction outside our sovereign nation, but the Navy under the DoD does have authority to defend the sealanes of communication from foreign enemies of the Constitution.

When the Secretary of State fails to separate those authorities, she dishonors the virtue of American freedom from foreign power and manifests a lack of integrity in promoting her authority.

Isn’t this the same crap the Clinton’s pulled in Yemen with the USS Cole “investigation”? Bring in the FBI who have no jurisdiction there.

That’s what the CIA is for...
