Pirates = Live targets
Collateral damage? Yes. So... I am not really bothered. No. Please now tell me that the Somalis will withdraw their diplomatic missions from the UK. Even better. To get more targets, make sure "Trackers" are fitted to all top end Mercedes and Toyotas sold in Africa.
Extreme? Very. Will the lesson be learnt? Yes, very quickly or Darwinism will take it's course. Oh, and while we are at it, the targeting of the pirates appears to be very specific. So why don't we get our gifted and clever MI5/6 to find the information source and arrange for it to be silenced? Maybe those providing the information might like to go fishing, say in the Indian Ocean?
