File under: Pirates

#1 Why doesn't someone put a big enough bounty on these guys heads that it would be profitable for Blackwater or similar group to outfit a small freighter appropriately and go fishing for pirates? Just wondering. Oh, and the bounty pays a premium for dead rather than still wiggling.

#2 When we set up a lane we would patrol, the pirates began hunting ships outside the lane.

For some unfathomable reason, killing pirates seems to be against international law. The U.S. in particular will not do anything that could not be considered a law enforement op. The Indians killed a mother ship, but then got tarred because it was a "civilian" vessel. That drove the lesson home that you cannot kill pirates.
