Made my printed paper today.
"Pirates hold British couple for ransom" by New York Times | October 30, 2009
NAIROBI - British ITV News said it had made contact with Paul Chandler, one of the kidnapped....
Chandler, reached by mobile phone, told the station he and his wife were being held in the captain’s quarters of the Kota Wajar, a Singaporean ship seized by pirates in mid-October and that the ship was anchored about a mile off the Somali coast.
First I've heard about a ship from Singapore, Globe!
And if this guy called in on a phone, can't they trace the call?
All those warships and spy gear?
He said that the pirates had not demanded a ransom but that “they kept asking for money and took everything of value on the boat.’’
The interview cut out abruptly after Paul Chandler was asked how the couple was being treated....
Just like I'm going to cut one on this stinker of a story.
Something doesn't smell right here.
--more--"
Pirates let him use a phone, huh?
PFFFFFFFTTT!
