Somali pirates kill four Americans aboard hijacked yacht (by Adam Nagourney and Jeffrey Gettleman, New York Times)
My printed paper carried an AP piece, and when you gotta go you gotta go.
And Obama sure is a pussy. Pirates kill our people and he does nothing.

NAIROBI — Pirates were once believed to be disgruntled and financially motivated Somali fishermen angry that international trawlers were illegally fishing Somalia’s waters.
That, and the nuclear waste the West was dumping in their waters.
Now criminal gangs dominate the piracy trade and have begun systematically torturing hostages, including locking them in freezers.
There does come a point where the agenda-pushing lies are simply too outrageous, folks.
“What we’re seeing is that because of the business model the pirates have adopted is so lucrative, that you’re now getting organized criminal gangs involved as opposed to fishermen who just decided to have a go at piracy,’’ said Wing Commander Paddy O’Kennedy, spokesman for the European Union’s antipiracy force. “Criminal gangs are more violent than your average fisherman who’s turned to piracy.’’
Are they as violent as governments that torture?

Pirates hijack Danes’ boat with three children aboard
Pirates have hijacked a Danish sailboat with four adults and three children aboard as they were crossing the Indian Ocean, Denmark’s government said yesterday.
Most hostages captured in the pirate-infested waters off East Africa are professional sailors, not families. Pirates are not known to have captured children before.
Must be the new gangs.
Earlier yesterday, the European Union Naval Force said Somali pirates hijacked a Greek-owned cargo vessel. The MV Dover was on its way to Yemen from Pakistan when it was attacked.
And then the Dover went down the MSM memory hole.

Maritime authorities say as ransoms have climbed into the millions of dollars, pirates are holding hostages for longer and becoming more vicious. On Wednesday, pirates freed the 25 crewmembers of the Rak Afrikana, who had been held nearly a year.
Yeah, freeing hostages sure is vicious.
And then they fell off the BG radar.
