Post by: CAVPFCDD on April 19, 2009, 11:04:13 AM: well the laws are kind of tricky depending on where they caught them.

I'm not quite sure what the US is going to do with their captive pirate, I didn't think they were allowed to take him here for trial... Not quite sure the rules in international waters.

Maybe the dutch caught them in Somalie waters, in which case they technically can't take them.

For that alone, The Netherlands has my personal respect. :salute

Thank you Holland :aok

Post by: Chalenge on April 20, 2009, 02:17:29 PM: The British method in the age of piracy was to suspend a captured pirate from the bowsprite within a cage and tightly clad by ropes. The seagulls and rodents would make it a very unpleasant way to go and it stood as a warning to anyone thinking about piracy.

Today most nations are overly burdened by their own laws and so most every nation has decided to hand over pirates to Kenya. I can only imagine Kenyan prisons as being not too much better than the bowsprite cage.
