I am extremely pleased...

that the last thing seen by three Somali pirates on this Earth was a grinning Navy SEAL and the business end of a MP5SD4 SMG.

U.S. sea captain freed in swift firefight.

Go, Navy!

(yes, I actually said that. They did good.)

I made the mistake of tuning in for th Navy press conference right after the news broke. I screamed at the tube when one reporter asked how the situation had changed that it was worth the lives of three pirates. A lot of the other questions were in the vein ...
!?! P*ssed is the word for how I feel. Though I thought of you, Mr Berry, when a reporter asked the admiral how he could be sure that the sniers could hit the target when only the head and torso was showing. Thank you, Mr. Sniperman, and the rest of you guys who are on my side.
