Bummer. FreeRepublic was added to the kook list a while back, so in good conscience, I can’t check the link out. I’m confining myself only to sensible and approved material, as determined by the world.

Check out the CBS News link:

American Crew Battles Somali Pirates

The crew of a hijacked U.S. cargo ship is in a standoff with Somali pirates after attempting to retake the vessel, military sources told CBS News correspondent David Martin.

The sources told CBS News that crew members overpowered the pirates, taking one into custody, but the hijackers still held the ship’s master hostage. The American crew is in control of at least part of the ship and crew members have been in contact with their families.

KEEP ON FIGHTING!
