This is really tragic. And even more tragic that no one has the spine to send a fleet of decoy vessels full of Seals and covered by drones and helicopter gunships to make piracy a very very high risk occupation. They want to play black flag - show them what a real black flag is. No prisoners.
Charles Hankey

-- T. S. Eliot

Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
