I think the US is the only "Western" country to really kick some ass
and those it does capture process quickly.
"Five men convicted of piracy after trying to capture a US Navy ship were found guilty in November in a Norfolk, VA court. The sentence was issued earlier today by Judge Mark Davis. Not only are these men the first to be found guilty of piracy in the US since 1820, but have been given the longest sentence in US history for the crime (the last guy was hung). They will serve a minimum of life in prison for piracy and the judge tacked on another 80 years for firearms charges, just for good measure.
The Somali men are the first to be tried in a US court since the sudden boom of pirate activity in the Gulf of Aden starting in March 2010. But there will be more to come, as 13 suspected pirates have been indicted for the murder of the passengers on a private US yacht and will soon join their countrymen."
Why oh why do other countries get so tied up in appeals, rulings et al,
all BS.
Maybe a few Apache sorties / live fire "exercises" wouldn't go astray.
