#1 It took three years, but Lloyd's is finally doing what it did with the Straits of Malacca. With any luck, it'll force the sort of international anti-pirate coordination that's in place in the Straits region.

#2 There's a scam, going on right now where the Paki/Islamics/Indian call America and threatn YOU.

You've not paid back a payday loan if we don't get $1.500 TODAY we'll turn it over to the Police, they'll be at your door tomorrow and arrest you, You'll go to jail, lose your job and have to pay your Lawyer $5.000 or more to get out, and we'll get our money anyway.

Remember that's 5 Pm today.(usualy on a Friday so you can't check)

Now us reading this seems plain, but hearing it over the telephone, WITH your Bank account number, Credet card serial and related things, like your Social Security, Drivers License and whatever they have FROM AN OFFICER(Fake) scares most Elderly.

And so they PAY,THEN check it out and discover they've been screwed, and NO you can't get your money back.

It's far worse than what the Nigerian scammers Pulled.

So be warned America, they're out there, RIGHT NOW.

#3 Well the pressure is getting strong enough that recently a Chinese official commented that it will be necessary to conduct military action against the ports that the pirates operate from. Oh, Joy, Chinese naval bases on the Somali coast, all due too the West being all PC with their thumbs up over this issue.

#4 I've been saying all along that all it would take to end this piracy was one 12-ship ARCLIGHT strike over Haradhare or Eyl, one time. There probably wouldn't be any survivors, but if there were, they'd be so shell-shocked they'd never even CONSIDER doing anything to have that experience again. You've GOT to make the punishment worse than the crime to get their attention. That's why necktie parties were so effective.

Ah, the joys of the Old Folks' Circulatory Email System. I much prefer the cute puppies and "find G-d's face in nature" ones.

Telephone pirates. Perhaps we could get Lloyds to raise their rates as well .

#6 they use a phone link so it seems to come from NY.
