I just saw on my local news station that the pirates have opened fire on a ship carrying relief supplies.

3. Yeah maybe those "evil capitalists" should buy their own goddamned army if they want to
do trade in the region. It's not the US military's job to keep the world safe for business. What's next? Special Ops taking down people in London because some thugs are shooting up a Walmart? To hell with this 19th century maritime bullshit. If companies want to do business in Somalia, let them hire Blackwater... or "XE" or whatever it's called now.

4. The Liberty Sun.
A bulk carrier built to carry lots of cargo and get there slowly. I feel for the crew, but Liberty is about the cheapest company around since Lykes Brothers.
