I think the U.S. Navy acted appropriately in the tragic incident
that resulted in the deaths of Dr. Bob Riggle, Phyllis Macay and Jean

so long as there is a chance at least some hostages might be freed. The
Navy was watching and it was cautious.

*From what I have read, we don't know what event(s) precipitated the
shooting of the hostages by the pirates. Whatever penalties they were
facing surely weren't as severe as what happened after they murdered
their hostages.

The areas in which these pirates operate is enormous. Obviously, more
countries need to participate in patrol and interdiction.

Yeah, over 500 mi from shore. obviously in int'l waters. I still say
that contract security would be the cheapest (and non-political)
option.

So, you get a cargo ship, load it with defensive weapons....

.....and use it as a mother ship for Pirates!!

Like a wolf in sheep s clothing

Yikes! That could allow those mother
ships to just operate closer to the shipping lanes. Could lead to a
bunch of pretty well armed vigilantes too... I don't know, I am just
speculating.
