Thanks for the reply, Rilbur Perhaps just destroying the trawlers\pod carrying crafts would do ... and then make the skifts would run out of fuel and ammo and then pick them and make sure they never return. Red_a says their all high on drugs ... the withdrawals would be great punishment them. It will cut down the actual ship to ship fighting. CJames says long distance firing is the advantage of better guns. As Red_A said its run by four warlords ... its also best to take them out ... it must be drugs or something related that keeps them in business. I surprise we're not covertly putting them out of business and may that will stop piracy all together. No one to pay the supplies and amo. Treat them like drug lords. mmm perhaps we should be strongly be helping the govt but not really sujgating them. I bet the somali govt would allow that in trade for food, medical supplies etc for period of time. Perhaps its best to teach somila how to fish rather than take fish. They are having a drought and the poor ppl are suffering. Warlords have plenty of food and water ... but only to enlist those into piracy in order for some poor person to help their family. It be great if they something ... its obvious any countries military can take care of the situation and turn the issue around. But nothing has truely happen in recent six years or perphaps 20 years Below is how bad the political situation is. Pay ransom to free a ship, a court system in somali would tend to be a revoling door. Its not good enough. I don't see any news with the world to be applaud that children are added to the victims list. Somali pirates send bank details with deadline to Burney KARACHI: The Somali pirates, who had hijacked MV Suez, a ship of Red Sea Navigation, with Panama flag in the Gulf of Aden in August 2010, on Wednesday, refused to release only Pakistanis or Indians and gave four days ultimatum for the life of crew members if they didn’t get $2.3 million, the United Nations Expert Adviser on Human Rights, Ansar Burney, who is in touch and negotiating with the pirates in Somalia for the early release of the hostages, said. The bank accounts given to Burney by Somali Pirates are one of ‘Islam Malaysia Berhad Labuan’ Offshore Branch New York, US, and 2nd bank account is of DAYAX Islamic Bank. “It’s a terrible condition in which they are right now. For the last one week, the pirates are torturing them because the owner has refused to pay the ransom. The Pakistani and Indian governments can put pressure to force the owner of the ship to pay ransom, so that the ship can be released. The pirates have stopped the crew’s food and water for the past four to five days,” he said. Ansar Burney said that the condition of the hostages was critical as they had been sailing in the Somali sea for the past nearly eight months. “Earlier, they were being given some boiled rice and fish with sea water by their captors but now they didn’t receive any food or water for the last three days”, he said. On Wednesday, the Somali pirates on telephone informed Ansar Burney that after getting the money they will release all of the crew members or in other case they will kill all of them. ‘And they cannot release Pakistanis or Indians only, all will have to release or to die together.” —PR Pirates Could Soon Face U.S. Military Action The United States may soon respond more aggressively to Somali piracy following a warning to the United Nations Security Council that the pirates are becoming "the masters" of the Indian Ocean. .... He recommended that piracy-focused courts and prisons be established in the breakaway regions of Puntland and Somaliland. A Somali-administered court should also be set up in Arusha during a transitional period prior to being transferred to Mogadishu, Mr Lang added. Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete is "open" to this proposal, he said. It would cost about $25 million to establish these courts and prisons, Mr Lang estimated, suggesting that is a small price in comparison to the billions of dollars lost to piracy. Ms Rice said the United States agreed that "targeted co-operation with Somaliland and Puntland [should] be increased." That comment is causing some analysts to speculate that the Obama administration may be moving toward tacit recognition of the two territories as sovereign entities.

Negotiations with bad guys? There is a bigger chance that they will be killed than to be exchanged I have no idea what has happen in past cases? and how will the pirates avoid capture or how they will pick up the ransom? Pirated Danish yacht, family anchor near Somalia (17 hrs ago) NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A Danish family kidnapped by pirates has reached the shore of Somalia, officials and a pirate said Wednesday, likely meaning a long hostage ordeal for the couple and their three teenage children who were abducted while yachting around the world. The family has been moved to a larger ship, and none of the hostages has been harmed, a pirate said. Later Wednesday, the Danish government said it had established contact with the pirates and their hostages. "They are doing well under the circumstances," the Foreign Ministry said in a brief statement. It said a professional security firm was handling negotiations with the pirates, declining to give more details, citing concern for the hostages and their relatives. The statement did not mention anything about a ransom. A Somali pirate previously warned that if any attempt was made to rescue them, they would meet the same fate as the four American yachters slain by their pirate captors last week. Any chance of a quick rescue seemed to disappear Wednesday. .... Abdirizak Ahmed, who heads the anti-piracy program in Puntland, Somalia's semiautonomous northern region, where most pirates are based, was attending a two-day workshop in Denmark this week on the legal aspects of prosecuting pirates. "On behalf of the Puntland state of Somalia, I want to say that we are very sad about the situation," said Ahmed. "In order to save these people, let us wait. Any action, including military action and we have seen what happened to the American couple a couple of days ago, we don't want that to happen again. ... Let us wait, let us wait, please."

Those ships are just too big to fight highly maneuverable vessels. Shoot a torpedo ... they can easily get out of a way ... shoot a shell ... they still move out of the way They can just serve as deployment assistance .... in multiple areas Its like having dog fights on water ... you destroy them with similar out fitted vessels ... it guerrilla warfare on water Big boats are for fighting big boats .... its a laugh for manverable vessels ... Mines don't have to be high tech .... just enough of a field of objects to force them to run into ... disable them ... then perhaps a ship of your choice can pick them up or shoot them out of the water They have to be easily deployed as well as un-deployed ... so they can be towed to a different area and used on another group of them Perhaps maybe between two large vessels we can have a special netting that can be use to disable each group of pirates that come between the two ships A lot easier than mines Your assumption is that they operate out of one place ... they don't ... they operate anywhere ... they can get easily ... resupplied They are not centralize ... now who do they take their loot and money to? No idea I suspect they are like own and operated - they will use whatever they can plunder so they can resupply locally or make periodic runs to a war supply depot for rpg or raid local store for ak47 bulletets Red_a has a point that they are so spread out they seem to have many mobile base of operations ... not a centralize operations .... you have to attack them surgically ... group by group The war on pirates is easier to win than the war on terrorism with the right tools, tactics, and train personnel Its also crucial to attack their supply and material lines ... to disband each groups ability to operate It takes a lot of time for a group of big ships to move from place to place ... But a mobile group can make a difference ... the enemy can see big ships coming and they can move out to another location quickly Another issue is ... are they affiliated with drug cartels, terrorist, etc etc .... also we need to deter them from forming any alliances eventually you will find the queens nest and then take it out but that takes time to locate ... it may not be one queen nest once you show forces to look for them - they just go hide and relocate their base of operations This is not organize war fare Blockade and taking over Somali isn't very much of a solution You might as well take over Africa itself Big boy war toys and military muscle will be a very big debate on the floor of the UN or by any country Big bills that any govt won't foot the bill - unless more innocent lives are put into the news This is what the pirates are doing now - getting the world to notice them We lost the Vietnam ... its an unconventional war ... we just pulled out the war on terrorism is another unconventional war ... its bankrupting our country Already the terrorist announced they will use other means to win their war Another level of unconventional battles ... more costly issues

How do you have trevor in two places ... on the boat giving words to shane and then the customs shack watching shane from a far ( you forgot to give trevor binoculars ) I hope in the next chapter you'll have trevor admiring shane in joels shorts. I don't think he'll get his gun ... unless he's departing austrailia into international waters. Perhaps shane has access to the blakes guns or harpoones or flair guns

I don't think destroyers would stop them .... like 50 speed armed boats ... would cost much less ... plus a blockade of mines or stuff that would wreck a speed boat like CJ floating tree ... we can use automated air attacks to wreck their supply of weapons, fuel, boats and men ... most likely ... I think we have to hire mercenaries to do this because its a big issue of fighting them with the same tatics they use The stupid thing is why does it require years to respond to the issue?

I hear it got the worst movie of the year award .... I wonder how much it cost to make it. I saw the preview ... though it was cheesy ... over playing these myths ... it makes the Jackie Chan movie "The myth" a better movie I wonder if the writers have been dipping into the mercury balls (emperor chin favorite drug trip) If its entertainment (with the special effects) I say its dazzling in that fashion

Well the hair job will be a good cover for Trevor but pass the Sanchez issue to Shane. The good question is will they be safe from being observed or followed on the way to shark bay and if they get hit there. Pity Kline still suspects ... perhaps it might work in Trevor favor to have one reporter still tailing ... he might catch on to sanchez. Hey its scary that sanchez is there ... he might already have chartered a boat. That southern cross thing maybe funny but maybe that might put sanchez suspicion onto Trevor any way. Now the good question is when will he make the hit on trevor since you could say he's found them maybe. You think he'll find ned place and discover atlantis? I like share wearing the joel's shorts ... I bet trevor like it too ... makes you wonder if trevor been looking a shane more.

Everyone is a little different about what they remember and how much they drink ... so it can happen in terms of faint images ... vague recollections ... this is a bit different than amnesia ... by having a foggy drunk brain ... or ... if he's the bottom how can't he not be reminded that he didn't have sex and the guy left some other memento at his apartment ... do we expect the other one be the one night stand that the main character is trying to find who.

Last time I had contact with him was Apr 2010 - he was checking out for a consultation in another state. I haven't heard from him since then.

I am still surprise the USA hasn't mounted an invasion to rescue any hostages and then blow the pirates up. or at least put into their engine Trevors magic grit. Jeepers the middle east should protect ships and boats ... but they don't but just collect tolls and banti. I question the trials ... it serves no purpose to stopping the pirates from attacking ships. Perhaps we should have a similar strike force against the pirates ... their 20 fast boats vs our 40 fast boats It could prove to be a good training ground while giving them back the medicine they been doing. Many countries have the resources to fight in this manner but they all choose to do nothing about insuring the safty of trade and boats. This is cheaper than sending a warship ... that doesn't even scare or stop the pirates. Pirates could face trial in US over American deaths A group of 15 suspected pirates captured after the killing of four Americans on a hijacked yacht off Somalia could be sent to the US to face trial, the US military says.The group is being held aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. In the past year, at least six accused Somali pirates have been convicted in US courts. US agencies are investigating the killings on Tuesday of Phyllis Macay, Bob Riggle, Jean and Scott Adam. The US military, FBI and Justice Department are working on the next steps for their suspected killers, said Bob Prucha, a spokesman for US Central Command in Florida. The four Americans were aboard the S/V Quest, the Adams' 58-foot ship, when they were hijacked on Friday in the waters off Oman.

I thought it emulates the writers but then its also networks influence then the producers... ultimately the director hehe - reality - we can always defer to Cops - the reality TV show

Yeah nice to hear that they will do their own investigating but it be scary to be captured by Bridget and George? and then wait for gonzalas and harrry to rescue you. while Trevor and Shane are having their problems with the press and unknowingly sanchez assasin. I knew the gun would be found ,,, I bet trevor didn't expect a search.

Yeah that is sad news - and there wasn't a ransom or anything ... just made an example - to a warship Its a pity for over four years nothing has been done. Nothing was force on somali to get rid of the pirate issue. I wonder what will our govt do four-americans-killed-somali-pirates US naval forces on the way to try to rescue the Americans heard gunshots and on arrival found the four hostages had been killed. Two pirates were killed and 15 detained during the incident, which took place on Monday. The remains of two other pirates, who had been dead for some time, were found. The US military did not state how those two died. In total the US said 19 pirates were involved in the hijacking of the American's yacht, the Quest. The deaths mark the first time US citizens have been killed in pirate attacks, which have plagued the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean for years.

I think the story chases you not you chase the story ... its a matter ... how you interpret the story coming to you ... the stream of conscious ... written as ?? mystery, a novel, a drama ... its how you see it coming to you or its all the ideas you collect - the adventure or mystery to unravel the story They do say keep on experiencing life ... inspiration ... happens even more

And a father-daughter dance too!! and a sleep over too??

Do I hear a sweet sixteen party???

It took my own two Anthology stories to get me hook to the unwritten story ... Looking at what was I thinking back then to where it is now ... I'm impressed I got pass writing chapter 16 which is where my first long story ended.
