#1 Well, this is a nice, refreshing, welcome piece of news. I hope he was totally 'flaggerbastard" about the whole event.

#6 The bit that surprised me is the "coordinated with Somali authorities" - I didn't realize there were any Somali authorities to coordinate with, nor that there were even any pseudo-authorities who would be willing to do so.

#7 That's what I was thinking, Glenmore, but maybe they found some dude willing to be "an authority" for the price of, - oh, I don't know - say, $50?

#8 Some more detail at Strategy Page. Shibin was arrested more than a week ago.
April 6, 2011: In Puntland, American FBI agents and local police arrested pirate leader Mohammad Shibin, and sent him back to the United States for prosecution. Shibin was the leader of the gang that seized four Americans and their sail boat two months ago. Sabin handled the negotiations, but his men panicked when U.S. warships intercepted them at sea, and killed the four Americans. Most of the pirates were arrested and taken to the United States for prosecution. Sabin was a known pirate leader, and once he was identified as the guy in charge of seizing the Americans, plans were made to arrest him.

#9  led by the FBI and coordinated with Somali authorities.

All in keeping with local customs and Sharia Law. Hat tip to World President Barry Soetoro and Justice Department head Holder.

#10 All in keeping with local customs and Sharia Law.

I'm pretty sure Sharia law says no Muslim may be turned over to unbelievers for judgement, Besoeker.
