contractors

NAIROBI, Kenya (March 24) — Private security guards shot and killed a Somali pirate during an attack on a merchant ship off the coast of East Africa in what is believed to be the first such killing by armed contractors.

ARRRRRRRRRGH… looks like it be Davy Jones locker for him then.

International navies have killed about a dozen pirates over the past year, said Harbour. Hundreds more are believed to have died at sea, either by drowning or through dehydration when their water and fuel runs out, said Alan Cole, who heads the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime’s anti-piracy initiative.

Interesting that no pirates were killed by contractors before yesterday!  I thought they got in firefights and took casualties all the time.

Don’t worry, Keira Knightly is safe.

As far as I’m concerned, if you terrorize ship crews and extort money for a living, the world is better off without you.
