      Here is a link to the map of where the abduction of Quest occurred. Off
      the coast of Oman, not Yemen, not Somalia…

      Interesting, I know it was pretty far out but I didn’t realize it was that
      far. I don’t see that its possible to avoid the danger area if it includes
      the whole ocean. I keep a shot-gun onboard, but it would be no match for a
      determined group of pirates armed with AK-47s. I agree that its my
      responsibility to protect the boat, but what’s someone headed through the
      Suez canal supposed to do? By a rocket-launcher and mount it ondeck?

      So what happens next? Do we bring the captured pirates back and treat them
      as normal criminals or do we just hang them? Let me guess, they’ll be
      brought here. Some high-profile lawyer will take the case. The news will
      be full of how disadvantaged these poor people are and how they were just
      trying to feed their families.
      They’ll get a light sentence and become US citizens while in jail, getting
      out after 5 years. Or maybe they’ll be released because they were not read
      their rights? We should have just shot them on the spot!

      What has become of us? There is an island at the entrance to Boston harbor,
      Nixes Mate. In colonial days, there was a steel cage on the island.
      Pirates when caught would be placed in the cage and left to rot.

      The pirates should be set free.
      Let them swim to shore, from where they boarded Quest.

      You’ll be pleased to know that a felon cannot seek naturalization as a citizen in most cases.
