On top of it all, we have pirates/terrorists being caught, disarmed and then released so that they can go right back to it. NATO forces, Canadian chased, boarded and then released pirates yesterday after they tried to hijack a Norwegian tanker. It is about each countries legal system. Because none of the victims were Canadian, canada cannot charge them. I think that some serious changes need to be made both on the ground in Somalia as well as how this issue is fought. I understand the motive and reasons that the pirates give for this ongoing piracy, but I do not think this gives them the right or reason to use piracy as their way of making a living. They seem to believe that they can keep doing this without any repercussions. I think that the more that they escalate the greater the response will be. I find it ironic that 2-3 of the ships attacked were carrying food aid that was destined for Somalia, Kenya and other regions. Lets hold hostage the relief supplies that we are going to steal anyway once they hit the ground. We get the ransom then we get the supplies for the black market. Nice double dipping isn't it.
