re: #512 CyanSnowHawk

He is in this position because every time these pirates take a ship and some hostages, the shipping companies, through their insurers or directly, pay these criminals off. It has become another expense and they don’t seem to realize that it’s a losing game. It goes on and on until somebody, like Jefferson, stands up and says “no more.”

I’m wondering if the reason they don’t just send in the SEALS to sink the boats surreptitiously is that the insurers would cause a stink. Is that what is really holding this up?
