That would be under the new UN Law of the Sea treaty. As far as I know, the US has not ratified that treaty yet, though most of the rest of the World has. President GW Bush moved to ratify it in 2007 but there was much frothing at the mouth from the Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, Weekly Standard and similar right-wing groups. So it went nowhere under the last administration, and if the present administration was moving on it, I'm sure we'd have heard about it from the aforementioned groups.

The US couldn't touch the pirates if they made it back into Somali waters. Off the high seas we'd have no jurisdiction, and to move against them would be an act of war against Somalia.

I was interested to read that the British navy has been told not to take any pirates alive allow any Somali pirates on board their ships, since they would then be able to claim political asylum in Britain on the grounds that they could be executed if forced to leave.

Pirates are pirates. Every one of them should be immediately blasted into Davy Jones' locker!

No political correctness with me. Every pirate deserves an immediate execution.

Roll-eyes has been on the site since day one. I added the palm in face. It is  #182 and is in the pop up list just to the left of the parental advisory sign.

Enjoy. garfield
