Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved .

The U.S. Navy apprehended nine suspected pirates early Thursday morning in the western region of the Gulf of Aden . . .
Missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf responded to a distress call from an Indian flagged motor ship named Premdivya that was being attacked by pirates.
The Vella responded by launching a helicopter that fired warning shots in the vicinity of the pirates who were traveling in a small skiff.
The pirates stopped their attempts to flee after the second shot and then members of the USS Mahan, which was acting in support of the Vella Gulf, boarded the skiff and apprehended the nine suspects, all believed to be from Somalia

The economic downturn is apparently also hitting the pirates. They had to K-mart discount one of the ships they captured.

Here's a real bummer of a story. It's about five days old, but I just found it . . .
FOXNews.com - Insufficient Evidence Could Force U.S. Navy to Return Suspected Pirates to Somalia - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News
WASHINGTON — Questions emerged Friday about whether the U.S. Navy can continue to hold a group of suspected pirates captured on the high seas and kept for now in floating jail cells ringed with barbed wire.
At issue are nine men, probably Somalis, seized Thursday from a small skiff in the Gulf of Aden. . . .
.
. . . there may insufficient evidence to hold the men for trial . . . some or all might be returned to Somalia.
If a case can be brought, it would be among the first under a new arrangement with Kenya to take on prosecution of suspected Somali pirates.
