Re: CAPT Richard Phillips is RELEASED!!

Thanks for the info. I was really trying to keep up with the story and I'm glad the Captain is safe. There was a day when Americans didn't get messed with overseas and it's good to see that pirates will think twice when they see an American flag being flown on a ship!

A leisurely swim (for them), I'd guess. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

The fourth pirate was on board the navy ship negotiating at the time the other three were...negotiated with. That's why he is currently still alive.

I think it's time they just institute a new bounty system:

$500 for any live pirate turned over to the US Navy.
$50,000 for any dead one turned over to the US Navy.

They used to do that with bank robbers in the old west - $50 for a live one, $500 for a dead one. I've seen a few of those old "Bank Robbers Wanted" posters.

Go Navy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
