15. Things are different in international waters

and nobody met one of those Somali speedboats to as if they were refugees or pirates, either. They just sank the boats.

None of the boats I've seen had any sort of fising gear nor anything that would have been necessary to pul. sort fish into the boat and the boats were full of men with no room for something large like marlin or tuna. Sorry but been there, dome that, and even when it's not a shiny party boat with inboard motors and rotating chairs, you need at least some equipment, otherwise youre just lookng at the fish swim by.

That doesn't mean I don't want some proof of what these guys are up to. I just think it's no good.

"Innocent until proven guilty" and "due process" are fine concepts. I hope some day we get them reinstuted in the USA.
