Somali pirates: "We're not afraid" by firehawk 2009-04-10 03:35:07
No wonder...
"The ship's lifeboat has run out of fuel, other pirates are too nervous to help them due to the presence of foreign naval ships, and the USS Bainbridge destroyer is up close."

...

"...maritime groups tracking the saga ... say a more likely outcome is a negotiated solution, possibly involving safe passage in exchange for their captive."

Negotiated solution? o.O Safe passage?

Hasn't the blasted Navy heard of snipers? Surely there are a couple Marine snipers on-board a destroyer!!?!??

What the hell message does this send to other would-be pirates?!
