Praise of man killing snipers!? What next !? From another article: "Gates said the pirates were between 17 and 19 years old - raising the possibility that the one survivor now in U.S. custody could be tried as a juvenile. That means he could potentially be charged with less harsh crimes than if he were an adult.

'Untrained teenagers with heavy weapons,' Gates said." These weapons were probably bought from Mexican drug dealers who got them from the US.

But, now, like with Gitmo war victims, the FF fighter will be given a billion dollar trial, free food and shelter for the rest of his life and a raft of protesters outside the prison demanding the he be released in the US or Europe, like the Gitmo war victims, and be supported by western taxpayers for life. It was torture to keep these FF members in an open boat for days in the burning sun, hungry and thirsty and mentally exhausted; it is a torture nearly as bad as making them wear underwear on their heads. "But with the pirates now vowing revenge on Americans - and insurgents launching attacks on U.S. politicians just hours after the stand-off - the consequences of those three miracle shots remain to be seen." The US will pay.

They did the right thing. Ventilate the pirates and let 'em feed the fish.
