From MSNBC: "Russians also detain pirates
Separately, the Russian navy said Friday its nuclear-powered heavy missile cruiser Peter The Great detained 10 Somali pirates closing in on an Iranian-flagged fishing trawler. Russian military prosecutors were questioning the men, who were caught on Thursday with rifles, grenade-launchers, illegal narcotics and a large sum of money, the navy said."

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but they were in international waters -- how are there "illegal narcotics" where there is no law???

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Correct me if im wrong, but since the is no law, shouldn't the Ruskies just have sunk their ships and be done with it?  ;D

treaty law

they are signatories on a couple of UN agreements which means they have to turn those guys over to authorities for trial.

but i am with you bro.  start doign that and i bet the pirate attacks will drop.

Id just dump the drugs, hold onto the weapons and spread the wealth across the ship, then turn into a priate. the ships nuclear powered anyway, not like you need diesel or anything!

Yea but what are you going to do when your fuel rods run out in a few years. I'm sure in 1985 you can buy plutonium in any corner drug store, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by! Oh wait I got mixed up sorry ;D

The nations need to get together and sign some sort of new treaty. One that allows them to force these pirates to walk the plank.

No sense of humour in the med staff, either.
