The facts suck, but the slant in that article sucks too IMO.
The pirates are quoted as saying they aim ""to stop illegal fishing and dumping in our waters... We don't consider ourselves sea bandits. We consider sea bandits [to be] those who illegally fish and dump in our seas and dump waste in our seas and carry weapons in our seas"
Well the fishing industry is perfectly legal, and the dumping that occurred while so stupid as to make my head explode is legal as well. The Swiss and Itallian companies had contracts granted by the Somali government to dump there.
And the histories given are quite fantasized. Priracy in the 1600's was "egalitarian?"
