Somali Pirates
Great to see that people are now employing self defence when dealing with those animals. As for the daft Kenyan official (sorry Shadya) saying that weapons should not be carried on merchant ships, does he honestly believe that a loud sonic device would actually protect a cruise ship against piracy? Anyone passing through those waters needs to emply a team of fully trained and suitably armed security guards as a minimum requirement in my view.

Re: Somali Pirates
I have a lot of friends working down there now with the Navy and other organisations. Some of the stories I'm getting told are quite hilarious. Especially the indian navy almost causing the pirates to panic and shoot the ships captain. The shermans and the brits were hanging off 'negotiating' through VHF when the indians sailed right on past and started the 'shot across the bow' procedure..the captain (an indian, hence the Indian Navy's rush to assist-national pride or summit) had to scream on the VHF to tell them to piss off before they get him killed..
Classic.. |

But how do you negotiate with pirates? Its a contradiction in terms. Why don't the rich Arab nations, whose petroleum tankers seem to be targetted more often than any others, establish some sort of patrolling naval force off the Somali coast? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah Alternatively, President Spugsy has a good plan but one probably more suited to the Israeli Secret Service who seem to have expertise in that area.

easy, offer them an alternative... they will refuse, but it bides time and then send in the shakys to eliminate the threat.
