US warship watches Somali pirates with US hostage
"As the high-seas drama stretched into a second day, the freighter that was the target of the pirates steamed away from the lifeboat under armed U.S. Navy guard, with all of its crew safe — except for the captive captain.
The pirates tried to hijack the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama on Wednesday, but Phillips thwarted the takeover by telling his crew of about 20 to lock themselves in a room, the crew told stateside relatives."
I'm probably not the first one to address this though but...
WITH ALL THESE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN WARFARE....
HOW IN THE HELL ARE WE STILL GETTING ATTACKED BY PIRATES???
its like a fricken blast from the past back in like old school Ghana empire shit. Hahaha.
But really, it's nice to know that U.S. troops have developed tactics to thwart these pirates...
(Why don't we just bring in Ninjas...now THAT I'd like to see front page of CNN)
