Maersk-Alabama Capt. Richard Phillips, right, stands alongside Cmdr. Frank Castellano, commanding officer of USS Bainbridge (DDG 96) after being rescued by U.S Naval Forces off the coast of Somalia. Phillips was held hostage by Somali pirates for four days. (Official U.S. Navy photos.) Thank your neighborhood Navy SEALS (we think that is whom to thank: there is no officials comfirmation of this) for the rescue of American Capt. Phillips from the hands of those khat-chewing Somali brigands. Nobody injured but the bad guys.
'Bout time, I should say, but better late than never. Hope we try the only living pirate in some place that doesn't have jails as nice as ours. And Mon Dieu, No French cuisine.

Yes, it's about time the US stood up for it's own. The pirates got what they were asking for.
