Really? tell it to the guys in Blackhawk Down. Those guys were better armed than the Knob Creek shoot.
I was going to make a joke here about how Army Rangers will go to Somalia, but they won't go to Alabama, but nah...

Reports on the radio speculate that the crew threw some of the Pirates overboard. Not sure if that is confirmed or not...

Updates- sounds like the pirates took the captain hostage and are off the ship in the ship's lifeboat. Negotiations are proceeding. One expects a fast naval vessel is on the way to add firepower and a big grey boat to the negotiations. One hopes the pirates surrender to the big boys- they may figure they'll get a better deal. 3 hots and a cot is easier to take than petting sharks at 200 feet.
