The US Navy has captured one of the notorious pirate boats terrorizing the sea lanes near the Horn of Africa. The boat was manned by 16 Indians and 10 Somali men, and the US ship that carried out this international policing task was the guided missile destroyer with a jolly British name: the USS Winston S. Churchill.
We’ve covered piracy several times at ComingAnarchy (see here, here, and here), and it’s good to see the US navy doing something about the problem.
Other news: Dick Cheney hasn’t read Imperial Grunts “yet.”
