Ten suspected Somali pirates captured by the Russian navy last week may have perished after their release, a defence source in Moscow has told reporters.

Marines seized them during a dramatic operation to free a hijacked Russian oil tanker far from shore, killing an 11th suspect in the gun battle.

They were released in an inflatable boat without navigational equipment.

Within an hour, contact was lost with the boat's radio beacon, the defence source said.

"It seems that they all died," the unnamed source was quoted as saying by Russia's Interfax news agency.

Sure.
Okay.

Hell, that was by comparison, rather kind of em to give em THAT much - under almost every maritime code and law I know of, you can shoot pirates out of hand whether they've surrendered or not.

That's why I had such a total hissy about the Ady Gil running the Jolly Roger up the mast, as you might recall.

Damn Somalis are idiots about this anyway, if they stayed in their own waters and held up the pretense of such robbery being unpaid customs duties they might just get away with more of that shit, cause the only difference between a pirate and a customs inspector is perceived legitimacy anyway.

So credit where it's due, at least the Russkies gave em a sporting chance, yanno ?

PS. Nothin says they can't then use said boat for target practice, neither.

I think geez was implying that the Russians killed the pirates and then lied about it, which. Is distinctly
Ossible. Or possible even.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


So, Geezer and Rappy are supporting piracy now?

Or is this all going to be about "governments lying" or the "rule of law"?

Funny how it's such a problem when the other side does it, huh? But if WE did it, they'd be high-fiving all over the board.

I don't know about Auraptor, but I'm wishing that the international community would get off its collective butt and come up with some mechanism to try these guys, instead of either playing catch-and-release with them or executing them without trial.

The Russians can get away with this sort of stuff because everyone knows they do it and don't care. If the U.S. did the same, there would be international protests. We need a legal way of getting these guys tried and convicted.

How in the world does my response in any way translate to you that I'm FOR piracy ?

Please elaborate on THAT one, if you can.

The idiots on the Left scream bloody murder when we capture terrorists ( pirates on land ? ) and then house, feed and give them free medical and dental.

I'm FOR the pirates ? Is that really how you read my above post?

I'll give ya a do over, and see if you can figure it out.
