It seems the old ways may have an interest in the present. What was that old adage about studying history?

the Dutch navy captured a pirate mothership yesterday, but due to international laws they couldn't turn them in for justice, so they just took their weapons and let them go again International law should change, and quickly.

The pirates were detained, but allowed to go free after questioning.

There is currently no formal procedure for NATO personnel to follow once they have apprehended pirates, Davies noted. Their weapons are confiscated and they are then typically given provisions and released.
What a joke. I mean what's the purpose. I suppose the meeting went something like this:

NATO - "You guys pirates?"

Pirates - "Umm Yes, why yes we are."

NATO - "Oh, Okay. Well you are free to go. And here are some Cokes and burgers for your trip back. You want fries with that?"

Pardon me, but in my book "no formal procedures" means informal ones by default. History has examples of informal procedures to follow in such cases.

the pirates captured, disarmed and released by the Dutch last week have been captured by the 'government' of Somaliland, an independent part of Somalia, and been sentenced between 15 and 20 years in jail.

Did you guys see this one?

This is an MSC ship, very popular cruise line in Europe and the Caribe.

Italian cruise ship thwarts pirate attackUPDATED: 08:09 AM EDT 04.26.09*The captain of an Italian cruise ship foiled an attack by pirates off the coast of Somalia on Saturday by ordering his security crew to fire back, Italy's ANSA news agency reported.Six armed pirates in a speedboat attacked the ship, which had about 1,500 people onboard, ANSA said. They fled after the security crew fired back.The cruise ship Melody, which is owned by an Italian company, was on its way back to Italy after a cruise, ANSA said.No one was injured in the attack about 180 miles north of the Seychelles.Piracy is rampant off the coast of Somalia despite the presence of foreign navies. The area hardest hit off the coasts of Somalia and Kenya, including the Gulf of Aden, is more than 1.1 million square miles -- four times the size of the state of Texas
