Pirate problem

[DanielJaffe]

I was reading this WSJ and wondering what people thought about it. Seems like they are going to have to do something to deter attacks, otherwise they will just keep on coming. That recent article in MBY was startling.

Introduce them to a nice, updated version of the Q-ship...

perhaps I'm being a bit simplistic here but ...

they know the pirates operate from 'mother' ships
they know the location of the 'mother' ships

they can't operate from 'mother' ships if they're sitting on the bottom of the sea with a torpedo hole in the side

QED

Agree completely, but they are holding a lot of the hostages on the mother ships. Need to pay the pirates ransom for all the hostages and then the parting gift of the torpedoes makes a lot of sense.

guess the is an opening for a 'security firm' to be employed by the industry as a whole. a firm that would pay the ransom then follow the pirates home and as in THE GODFATHER make them an offer they cant refuse!!!!
