The idea that pirates are now going Full Monty and have their own ships to ply the oceans doing pirate stuff is unacceptable. The Indian Navy caught a bunch of them and now we need to figure out what the price for piracy actually is. THE Indian navy and coastguard has captured a suspected pirate "mothership" and detained more than 50 people after a firefight off southwestern India, the defence ministry says. "There were 52 people in all," defence ministry spokesman Captain M. Nambiar said but was unable to specify the numbers of suspected pirates and rescued hostages, nor could he give their nationalities. All were found on board a Thai fishing vessel that had been hijacked up to six months ago off the coast of Somalia and is thought to have since been used as a floating base to mount attacks on shipping, a ministry statement added. So they floated over from Somalia to India and just figured they do some pirating? WTF? Obama could show an ounce of leadership and convene a Piracy Tribunal. Shouldn't take much, you need a guy with a drum, a plank and voila.
