The amazing thing is how far East and South of their base they were
operating.


The only answer - small tatical nuke right on top of the headquarters
should do it.


What gets me is they would have to know that the waters they were
sailing in was extremely dangerous, I wonder what made them think
they'd be immune to attack?


The recommendation is to stay outside 400 miles East - they were 800
miles SE according to the article and their last reported location.

The pirates were operating beyond what they normally do.


It looks like the creeps are really stretching out there now . I
didn't realize that. Thank you, Tom.
