I think they should publicly execute them too. "This is what happens when you take Americans hostage." But NOOOO.... we have to put them in prison for 30+ years and who pays for it all? ....

Doesn't the DOJ bring them to the US for trial? What a waste of money.
I agree...Revert to Maritime Law, trial by Captain's Mast, and execution at sea, in international waters. Or just do as the Russians do, and "release them"....to get about 100 meters away before you open up with the Quad Duece.....Quote:

That's what I was trying to recall-I don't believe the Russians have had another incident since then.Quote:

I'm also sorry to say, but they deserve what happened. If you have more money than sense and think sailing your yacht off the coast anywhere in that area is a good idea well...good luck. These people have no money, no food, no future. They will take your shit and kill you without a second thought. The world's oceans are huge and thanks to modern knowledge you can go anywhere, so maybe try to avoid the place that is known for taking your type hostage.
Also, the pirates should be thrown overboard to drown.
I wouldn't go so far to say they deserve it but it is not unexpected that it happened. They had a boat full of bibles so obviously they were over there trying to do some good.
Cruise missiles are expensive, .50 BMG ammo much less so. Besides, if a couple of pirate bodies wash up on the shore riddled with rather large bullet holes, it may provide an object lesson in the perils of the lifestyle...[M2]Quote:

Stay away from hostile areas, if you have to go there, get governmental backed support.... no support, no-go.
I also think the pirates should be executed on sight. They have nothing to negotiate with now that the civilians are murdered. Kill 'em all and sink the yacht.
