My Comment: whenever you read a story on how difficult life is for the Somali pirates, how their fishing grounds have been over fished by international trawlers, and how hunger and deprivation is impacting their lives .... bookmark and read the above stories.
The brutal fact of the matter is that these pirates are brutal thugs, and are symbolic of why Somalia has been a failed state for the past few decades.
As for the West .... shame on our political leaders who believe a catch and release program is the only way to combat this form of piracy .... it is not.
