Some somali pirates are REALLY dumb....

They tried to highjack a German naval fleet oiler in the middle of the anti piracy TF operating in that area.....

What's dumb about it? The Germans will turn them loose in Frankfurt and put them on the dole.

Oh, yeah. In accord with the International Rules of Engagement, a Greek and a Dutch frigate, a Spanish warship and the USS Boxer, sped to the area while a Spanish marine aircraft and two U.S. Marine Cobra helicopters joined the pursuit in order to board and secure a pirate ‘skiff’ and it’s seven man crew. Oh well done! Well done!

And the suspects were disarmed and transferred for questioning pending a decision on whether they will be legally prosecuted. Oh well done! Well done!

Oh my God, it was a casualty-free operation that showcased our incredible international naval capabilities. Oh well done! Well done!

It actually where the GREEK that took them down after their nasty suprise with the German vessel.
 
I don't think that Greek prisons are that nice.
 
Anyway, they will most likely be turned over to Kenya to be tried and sentenced to jail time in a KENYAN prison....
 
But I do think that if they where to be tried in an european country that particular country would NEVER be able to get rid of them after they would have served their time simply because Somalia would be an unsafe country for them to be deported to. [:-][:-][:-][:-][8|][8|][8|][8|]

well... and how do you know that? I admit that greek military code may seem a little... unconventional when you read it in comparison with (let's say) german one, but Greece signed all of those international conventions regarding human rights and international cooperation in penal law enforcement your country signed, too. So no reason to believe that Greek prisons are not set in some standards. Never been in one, though!

No offence, but you have northern european, southern european and easten european style prisons and they might have the same rules to oblige to but there is a difference between barely passing and trying to make your prison as "humaanly" as possible..

every country implementing Council of Europe's many conventions and pact (including the one about "humane penalizing and treatment") are subjects of every-year CoE control process that includes surprise inspector "raids", reports, summaries and such. No place for any "style" of imprisonment not corresponding with international standards.

Except Russia - Russia signed the convention, but is ignoring any monits ever since. Otherwise all CoE members do well to fit in, no more "two standard imprisonments" - especially in EU area. It's just too costly to run those facilities below european law culture level.

Trust me, it's a part of my job :)

Sounds like it's about time to reinstate the old style of punishment for piracy! But, alas and alack, that will be considered by some soft hearted and even softer headed, wet behind the ears, psychologically indoctrinated social scientist trained as a certified (in more ways than one) rehabilitation specialist as "cruel and unusual punishment," and what will probably happen is that the pirates will be given a stern talking-to, told to go back and tell their friends what will happen to them if they get caught, and released to their own recognizance.

Not totally unrealistic [:(]

They should simply sink this bastards and let them drown. Piracy would soon be over...

Don’t worry Terminus,

Matrix probably hasn’t got your daily situation report yet , why don’t you just ask to be a mod and cut out the middleman instead of running around play forum cop in every thread you don‘t deem appropriate ?

Imagine all of those ships and helicopters just to deal with a skiff containing 7 guys with small arms.  They should've sunk the skiff, crew and all.  Maybe the use of force would ease, not eliminate, the piracy problem.

Don't see any problems dealing with captured pirates - just add a plank to each ship's TO&E

Would be nice, 80% of the pirates are not literate or educated so I doubt they can swim.
I say sink them all, who cares about a few human lives they are criminals. If they want to do something constructive then help rebuild their darn country and stop causing problems for everyone else.

I say a few tomahawks could fix the problem, find out where the training camps are, or where they settle and just blast the hell out of it.
