IL senator demands action on Al-Shaabab, pirates
2011-06-14
Article written by security/terrorism expert Ellen Cannon, with good background as well as the who/what/where/when/how that degreed journalists manage. You're going to like Senator Mark Kirk's (R-Ill) approach to the subject -- Carol Moseley-Braun he is not.

#1  Kirk favors: “stop paying ransoms; blockade primary pirate ports; adopt aggressive rules of military engagement to confront pirates.

In addition he calls for rewarding “frontline Somali communities with economic assistance if they confront or convert Al Shabaab controlled areas;
Must throw money!
expand prisons to incarcerate hundreds of new pirates operating in the Indian ocean, and provide military assistance to Somali forces who regain control of Al Shabaab or pirate controlled areas.”

Sounds like a good 'investment' to me!
