#1 good story, Fred

the piracy situation in somalia is really quite ridiculous. For what it cost to free the Taipan, capture the pirates and bring them for trial in Germany - plus legal costs and holding costs, the international community could completely solve piracy in the GOA

All they have to do is give that money to Dr Farole, head of Puntland administration. He has locked up hundreds but lacks the resources to patrol and police his state effectively.

Annual state budget: $15 million - probably about what it cost to catch and try those 10 pirates.
