They might we have to remember these are the same people that forced Jefferson to start the Navy and the Marines.

Some things never change.

I'm sure the various intelligence services know where these fuckers are based/set sail from......why not send a few missiles there....no need for publicity/UN bollocks.....no one will even notice

you know it would be horrible to think what if these bastards try to take a US NAVY frigate ir something? (notice I said try, I dont think they'd be able to) but the subsequent shots to the head or hangings, may just put the whole socialist euros and rainbow gay leftists in USA up in arms about extreme justice... oh my, i HOPE THEY ARE NOT THAT STUPID and just stop pirating, then again, these are somalis, the same idiots who rather get themselves bombed to smithereens rather than let UN food aid get to their people

The pirate organisations are using gangs of kids to do the dirty work: http://www.smh.com.au/world/somali-p...2.html?page=-1. This is ridiculous. The actual organisations need to be actively investigated and taken down.

Except the term "organization" is loosely defined. They are pirates afterall. Dang you Jerry Bruckheimer! You've unleashed a new generation of horrors upon the sea with your crappily popular summer blockbusters!!!

Yes, it's probably a cooperative, rather than corporation.
