Blows my mind that they let them go. Screwy legal issues. Seems like a
NATO ship of any nationality should be able to hold them regardless of who
the pirates attacked.

Of course they do. However it is exciting to see that the pirates
still got away with a Pakistani vessel, while the French were cleaning
pirates out of another venture.

But it may be of good International relations to see that the South
Koreans saved a North Korean ship from capture.
