The Day they started to hand over the pirates that were captured to Authorities , that was the signal for them to go ahead and keep doing what they do ! back in the days of old pirates , these rejects would have been strung up for everyone to see !
It may be barbaric ,but , what the pirates are doing is way worse !
....
Maritime officials in east Africa say Somali pirates are sending several hijacked ships carrying dozens of hostages to the site of a standoff with the U.S. Navy over American captive Richard Phillips.
The officials say the pirates, who are holding Phillips on a lifeboat, are apparently trying to use the other hostages as shields. The pirates have threatened to kill Phillips if they are attacked. They are demanding a ransom for his release.
One U.S. warship, the USS Bainbridge, is already tracking the lifeboat where Phillips is being held. Pentagon officials say another Navy ship, the Halliburton, which is equipped with helicopters, has also arrived in the area.
Phillips has been held since Wednesday when hijackers briefly seized control of the humanitarian cargo ship he captained.
