Three hots and a cot; Helluva deal for activity that used to carry the death penalty.
Eleven suspected Somali pirates have been indicted in the United States in connection with recent attacks on two U.S. Navy ships off the coast of Africa.

The 11 men were brought to a courthouse in the state of Virginia Friday to face piracy charges after being detained on U.S. ships as the cases against them were being prepared.

A first group of five suspected pirates was indicted in connection with what authorities say was a firefight March 31st between the USS Nicholas and their vessel in the Indian Ocean.

#2  Now, now, Parabellum. They are just poor, misunderstood people who are trying to defend their country's fishing rights (about 1000 miles from shore). They deserve all the rights and privileges that a criminal citizen of the US gets.
