Federal judge throws out piracy charge against six Somalis

(CNN) -- A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a piracy charge against six Somalis in the April attack on the USS Ashland naval ship in the Gulf of Aden.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson granted a motion by the defendants to dismiss the piracy charge. They still face other charges in the attack, in which one of their companions was killed.

Jackson noted that the Somali attackers never attempted to board the Ashland. He ruled that the U.S. government failed to demonstrate that any attack on the high seas amounts to piracy.

Russia had the right idea on the way to deal with pirates.

Immediate, summary execution and then toss the body to the sharks.  Works every time it's tried, just like real, unadulterated conservatism.  :fuelfire:

The phaggots at Greenpeace can attest to that.

Sharks gotta eat too and they might like a little dark meat in their diet for a change.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
