Piracy — what do you think?
Posted : Thursday Nov 20, 2008 16:50:12 EST
The Navy has said it doesn’t plan on sending ships to intercept the Sirius Star, the Saudi supertanker carrying $100 million in crude oil that was seized off the coast of Kenya and as of Tuesday was anchored at a port in Somalia.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press is reporting that yet another cargo ship, a 26,000-ton bulk cargo carrier, was attacked and taken over by pirates on Tuesday in the Gulf of Aden.
What do you think the U.S. Navy and other coalition ships should be doing about the problem? Are their hands tied, or should they be doing more?
