Hoist the Jolly Roger! Harrrrrrrr!

Seems piracy on the high seas is making a comeback according to this report.

In its annual report, the bureau says there were 445 attacks on ships and other vessels - up 20 percent from 2002. Twenty one sailors were killed. More than double the year before. More than 120 people were hurt or injured and 71 crewmembers or passengers remain missing and are presumed dead.

Yeah, I read that yesterday.  There's currently a push to allow Japan to increase its navy and acquire fast attack boats and destroyers to patrol a larger portion of the Pacific area.  Since Japan is highly dependent on shipping for most of its raw materials for industry, it can't afford to lose boats and crews in the high-attack areas.  

The downside of that is that the Japanese military is a self-defense force and its hard to justify sending a squadron of ships into international waters on long-range patrol.  Plus, some of its neighbors aren't too keen on an increased Japanese military presence off their shores.  

I wonder if the current War on Terror will eventually encapsulate terror on the high seas.

Good pirates only kill ghost sailors.
