Re: CAPT Richard Phillips is RELEASED!!
Thanks for the info. I was really trying to keep up with the story and I'm glad the Captain is safe. There was a day when Americans didn't get messed with overseas and it's good to see that pirates will think twice when they see an American flag being flown on a ship!

Re: CAPT Richard Phillips is RELEASED!!
A leisurely swim (for them), I'd guess.
The fourth pirate was on board the navy ship negotiating at the time the other three were...negotiated with. That's why he is currently still alive. I think it's time they just institute a new bounty system: $500 for any live pirate turned over to the US Navy. $50,000 for any dead one turned over to the US Navy. They used to do that with bank robbers in the old west - $50 for a live one, $500 for a dead one. I've seen a few of those old "Bank Robbers Wanted" posters. Go Navy!
